Can’t fault this stay! The pictures were deceiving as our room was much bigger than we imagined, it is lovely and well designed and made for a very comfortable stay. The pool area is very relaxing and Giannis is an excellent host - he has great recommendations for trips out and was always on hand to assist us with any queries. Giannis’ family were also superb and helpful. The area itself is quiet and calm, there is a short (10-15min) walk to the beach and a string of restaurants and shops can be found along the way. We’d recommend visiting Elounda and getting a boat trip to the Spinalonga Island, as well as visiting Plaka beach for snorkelling in crystal clear waters (10mins by car from Elounda). You can catch the bus to Heraklion from the main road, this takes about half an hour with stops and there you can find the markets and visit the Venetian Harbour which is lovely. Thank you to Giannis & his family for making our stay so great! 😊
