Pinelopi is a wonderful host , welcoming and friendly . We were greeted at then bus station when we arrived which was very helpful . She gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat in the area which were all great ! The apartment was gorgeous , comfortable and very clean . The beaches in Koutsounari were stunning . Ierapetra is a bus ride or short 15 min taxi away . It has lots of shops , very good restaurants and pretty beaches with crystal blue water . We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend a stay at apple apartment ! Thank you Pinelopi for being a great host !
