It was a great short vacation, not at least because of our hosts Vasileios and his lovely mother. Right at the beginning we have been well received and welcomed. We could get in touch with questions and all matters and received an answer straight away. They are both took care of anything!
About the apartment: Beautiful view over a small bay, which is not overcrowded. The apartment was very spacious and everything you needed was there. Even the the fridge was filled with a couple of things. It looks just as great as the pictures shown.
About the location: Mades is a small but really beautiful place on Crete. As the others already have said, a car is really advisable. A supermarket can also be reached by foot after a short walk, however you should be prepared for climbing😄 Other supermarkets or mini markets are more easily reached by car. Heraklion is about 20-30 minutes away by car, a trip is definitely worth it! The beach of Agia Pelagia is only a few minutes drive from the apartment. There are some bars, restaurants, mini markets and souvenir shops. Really nice place, especially in the evening, right by the sea.
Many thanks again to Vasileios and his mother for the great hospitality, we would love to come back!
