Great stay! Thank you Rena!
Beautiful, clean and modern apartment RIGHT on a small harbor. Had all the amenities we needed, a full kitchen, lots of space, closet had beach essentials, except towels. We brought our own. Lovely spot. Well done!
Amazing sunrises, sunsets and holy moly! THE MOON RISING!! wow! It was glowing bright orange. Incredible.
Very relaxing, not touristy at all on the street/neighborhood of Pantanassa area. Literally 2 minute walk to cute small beach. And walkable to next beach over. About 20 minutes on main road, running parallel to water. (We’re used to hiking around. Not ideal for children or someone that can’t really hold their own)Both rent lounges and umbrellas, and spray off showers(love!) and have snacks and drinks. We spent most of our time at the one up the hill. jump spot to climb on left side with a bit more of a cool vibe. Worth the small trek. //cheladani beach ??
*BIG NOTE*
we came from the Heraklion airport and took the #6 bus to the last stop, Ammadoura. It was about 45 minutes, lots of local stops, and then a half an hour walk, had we not been SO GRACIOUSLY picked up. Again, thank you SO much for the hospitality from your parents! <3 we hadn’t attempted a taxi call at that point, but nothing was available/very hard to reach the next night to get dinner outside of the lovely, traditional few spots that were walkable. The bus is do-able but I’d highly recommend getting a car right from the airport or close to, to have all the freedom to go anywhere. We ended up grabbing one from Blue Lagoon resort (they were great too! Even helped us out a few minutes after they closed. We called and told our eta, but closed anyway) and walking there at night (not recommended. 40 minute walk. Very dark. We had a headlamp luckily, and on a few hard to see turns)
Driving, to the closest area with a bunch of fun options, more like a “strip”, was like 14 minutes and not an adventure at all hahah
I’d live there….with a car. I want grapes hanging from my terrace too! Yum!
