Exceeded expectations!
Zaharoula and Dimitrious are wonderful and generous hosts and made our family feel extremely welcome to their lovely holiday apartment. The apartment was very spacious inside and it allowed the four of us to spread ourselves out without feeling squashed. We had one open living, dining, kitchen area, two double bedrooms (both en-suite) and two balcony areas. The building is designed in such a way as to provide plenty of shade from the sun to keep it cool but there is A/C should you require it. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was immaculately clean when we arrived.
Zaharoula provided us with beach towels so we could avoid adding to our luggage and they also provided an inflatable for my daughters to take to the beach. In fact, Zaharoula and Dimitrios provided so many unexpected little touches that we were made to feel special. For example, Dimitrios took both myself and my daughters to visit his farm animals and areas where he grows produce, keeps his bees (we stayed at a safe distance!), collects herbs and showed us how he makes his honey.
He also recommended visiting the local Klados Winery which was a great afternoon.
The location of the apartment is just a couple of minutes by car away from the main north Crete road and made it convenient to visit local places and beaches. Within walking distance is a small village shop and a number of lovely local tavernas.
In summary, our holiday experience was profoundly affected by the hospitality we were shown. I would 100% recommend this apartment and Zaharoula and Dimitrios.
