Well, what can I say?
We have just returned back from our amazing holiday in Agia Marina, Crete and we have had the best time!
I can not highlight enough how gorgeous this place is. The house is immaculate and spacious with all the amenities you could need. It has 4 terraces, one huge enough for a table for 6 and a stunning view of the mountains on one side and the sea on the other.
3 large bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms.
I was staying with my partner, my mum and her partner and we did not feel like we were on top of each other as it had 2 levels.
The kitchen and living area is nice and spacious too with a large table and plenty of room to sit.
Communication with Konstantina who organises all of the admin for the property is clear and precise. They also allowed us to stay over a few hours as we had a late flight and this was so muchly appreciated.
The house is only a 15 minute walk down to the town and main strip and beach of Agia Marina. There is a local bar and a supermarket 2 minutes away and then beautiful restaurants en route down to the town which we visited every night.
You probably get even better food and service in this area as it is not situated on the main sea front which is busier and more expensive.
What absolutely made our trip though and I can`t stressed this enough was the family next door who actually own the house.
Mrs. Olga and her husband (who live in Athens but were staying with their daughter and husband who live there full time).
We absolutely loved Mrs. Olga!! She is the warmest, kindest lady and together with her husband and family they make you feel so at home and welcome!
They have the perfect balance between popping their head over the balcony for a little chat and sending over a few shots of Raki or some cheese and tomato or even making us a cake(!) but this is not done in an intrusive way at all.
It just makes the holiday- you almost feel like you are staying with family. All the thoughtful information, the bits of food, the drinks, the warm welcome, they telephoned a taxi for us for when we went home... the list goes on.
At the end of the holiday they even bought us a little gift each.
So THANK YOU so much to all the family. We LOVED our holiday and we LOVED the house and we will return in the future and recommend it to all of our family and friends!
Love Richard, John, Linda and Ian xxx
