We spent 5 days in this apartment and it was just perfect for our family of 4. Our hosts were super nice, they welcomed us with a bottle of raki (the local drink) and paistries and were very helpful with everything we needed. The house is at the very center of Zakros, a small village where you can experience real Cretan atmosphere. The village is on top of a hill, 10 minutes away from 2 beautiful and wild beaches (you will need a car). It also has a natural history museum, a digital museum and ancient water mills you can visit. We were not able to take the walk up the hill to the water spring that used to get the mills running, because our daughters were tired and it was too hot, and we regret it. Perfect location if you like hiking and wild nature.
