We discovered during the booking of this apartment that Minelaos was working abroad and that his family would be our main hosts. Minelaos had arranged for his parents, Rula and Arris, to pick us up from the bus stop near to their home.
When we arrived Rula and Arris invited us into their home for a welcoming drink of Raki and stuffed vine leaves. We knew we had chosen the right place. Throughout our stay they continued to show us this kind of hospitality introducing us to more Cretan savoury dishes and of course more Raki.
Tha apartment was ideal for us. It is in a small residential area away from the traffic and the bustle of a working town and a tourist hot spot. The bus stop is only a 10min walk and buses run every 30mins to Rethimno. The apartment was clean and is well equipped. As we had been travelling for a long time we were glad to see the apartment also had a washing machine. Rula had even stocked the fridge with some essentials.
This apartment was ideal for us and the family helped to make this a memorable expereience. If you are in the area we would definately recommend you stay here. You will not be disappointed.
