This was my first holiday in Crete and surely not the last one. One of the reasons is surely my great experience staying at Evalia Apts. From the moment me and my three year daughter arrived to the hotel, we felt welcomed and secure. We stayed in the apartment on the ground floor, overlooking the playground on one side and the pool on the other side - perfect for us. The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated, and the whole hotel and the surrounding is really nicely kept and very tidy. The swimming pool and the lounge chairs were our favorite spot to relax. There are also nice tables and chairs by the pool where we had delicious Greek breakfast, snack or late lunch. I liked the peaceful surrounding, the amazing views of the sea and the mountains and the coziness of staying in a smaller family run hotel. The highlight of our stay was definitely the staff of the hotel. The owner, Eva, went an extra mile for us to cook for my little daughter and prepare her favorite food, she helped me with tips where to go, took us to Heraklion one day, organized a trip to the beach ... and was really always willing to help. This is for sure a place to return and I can recommend it 100%.
