The place is located in a beautiful natural village in the mountains. It's close to Elafonisi but my boyfriend and I personally didn't like this beach as it was too crowded with tourists. Mary, the friendly housekeeper, gave us the great tip to go to Kedrodasos, a much more relaxed and natural beach. The apartment also had everything you need for cooking and even a washing machine. It was bigger than we expected although the pool area was smaller than on th pictures. All in all we loved staying there and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quiet place in crete in the mountains.
