If you're looking for somewhere to get away from it all I highly recommend Stavros' place. We had the most wonderful time here - a tranquil and beautiful part of Crete to stay - away from the tourist trail. The apartment was spacious and immaculate with incredible views and the sound of gentle waves. The pool was a real winner - especially for our teenage daughters. Stavros and his father were the perfect hosts - so kind - and helpful with transfers to and from the airport and help with ordering a taxi for us to and from Ierapetra when we went on a day trip to Chrissi Island. Eating out in the local tavernas was great fun but so was cooking and eating on the veranda, looking out at the breathtaking view, watching the sun go down and seeing the fishing boats set out for the evening. There's lots to explore and Kouros beach (10 mins walk from apartment) is absolutely gorgeous. We stayed for 10 days but wished it could have been for longer. So many good memories made here. Would love to come back - truly relaxing and restorative.
