It was such a great pleasure to visit this beautiful home and to discover enormous hospitality, continuous care and pure humanity of Markos and Litsa! The hosts exceed all our expectations: starting from the check-in (we arrived earlier and were allowed to drop the luggage, then guided by Markos to explore the Old town) right to the check-out (late departure - allowed to stay at no cost in the apartment entire day!) . They also supplied us with fresh food - fruits and vegetables, excellent white wine, olives and honey, eggs, home-made jam. Markos' mother is fantastic hostess - she cooked and shared with us several typical Cretan dishes like Gemista, Tsatsiki and even superb Lemon cake! We have never met such absolutely unique approach - to introduce your guests to the local cuisine traditions, thank you very much!
The apartment is perfect (everything you need is available and brand new, sparking clean). The view from the large terrace is fantastic, especially during the sunset and in the evening! The area is very quiet and safe, although a little bit far from the city centre - be ready to walk 20-30 minutes to the downtown every day if you don't have a car.
From the bus terminal in the city centrum, you can reach through one day' visits: Iraklion (Knossos' Palace and fantastic Archaeological Museum of Crete), marvellous Elafonisi beach with rose sand and warm turquoise water, Palaiochora... or other beaches - we enjoyed all of them very much!
Thank you wholeheartedly, Markos and Litsa, for ALL YOU DID to make our vacation in Crete unforgettable! Will definitely recommend your apartment for visit to our children, friends and colleagues ;):)
