this place was just what we needed for our stay in Crete. We rented a car and were able to take a long walk approximately 30 to 40 minutes downtown to the city center or drive to any nearby restaurants or taverns. The beach was approximately 5-10 minute walk and everything that you needed was nearby including a supermarket, Bakery and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the hostess was very accommodating and helpful and giving us recommendations and answering any questions that we had. Highly recommend this place for your stay.
