Summer Dream lives up to its name - it overlooks the ocean on the most beautiful stretch of Crete 's coast. It is only minutes from the centre of Agios Nikolaos and several beaches. It is also close to a wide range of attractions including archeological sites, monasteries and "destination beaches". It is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything we needed. Not to mention that Marianthi was such a gracious hostess (even though we arrived late). We arrived at Summer Dream from an apartment hotel in Rethymno that was dreadful despite having four stars and being almost twice as expensive. Ending our Cretan trip in Marianthi's apartment made our whole experience in Crete more special.
