This is one of the best holiday homes I ever stayed at.
Location: Kalo Chorio is a small residential village, 10 minutes out of Agios Nikoalus and 3 minutes from beautiful beaches. The village has no touristic attractions and very few facilities (no restaurants); but the neighboring Istron, 3 minutes down the road, has everything. Kalo Chorio is extremely calm and quiet, and offers a real feeling of staying with the locals. It's also very central for much of Eastern Crete.
House: beautiful, modern, spacious two-bedroom apartment. It has a spacious open-plan living room and kitchen, which open to a balcony that affords amazing views of the surrounding mountains and beaches. The pictures are perfectly accurate, except for the view, which pictures cannot capture. Magnificent.
The house has EVERYTHING. All the appliances (including a washer and a dish washer), all the utensils, everything one can dream of, all good quality and in a perfect condition. Spotless clean.
Hosts: Aspasia is amazing. Friendly and generous, she left the fridge full of treats for us, and then came over to offer help and advice. She speaks excellent English and communication was very smooth.
Value: amazing value for money. We will certainly come back!
