I would highly recommend Marianthi's Garden and Sea Houses for anyone traveling to Crete! The location, directly across from the sea was amazing and very relaxing. Extremely clean and contemporary. Lovely extra touches with beach towels, breakfast foods and a great coffee maker! Had everything we needed. We loved walking to Ammoudara Beach and enjoying the free beach chairs and table service. We also used the local market right across from the beach for dinner and brunch items. Marianthi was extremely responsive to communication and helped set up transportation for us from Heraklion port. We also went to two restaurants that Marianthi recommended: PiATO and Paradosiako--both wonderful. Terrific place for a peaceful, relaxing stay while on Crete!
