The view of the mountains, olive groves and beautiful blue sea were truly stunning from the apartment, and we immediately felt part of the rural life of Falasarna.
The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable with a large balcony, we had peace and quite and plenty of privacy.
Despina and her mother were very welcoming and helpful, we felt part of the family.
There was plenty of places to visit and things to do, we really needed a few months to just explore the local area, (a hire car is a must) although we did walk up the back of the montain from the apartment to the local super market.
The local tavern by the small port was excellent with local fish, and eating out locally was relaxing and the food very tasty.
The Samaria gorge is an amazing experience and well worth doing, as well as Balls logoon and Elafonisi.
The holiday was prefect for us as we like rural life, comfortable accommodation, walking and exploring, good food and a feel for the traditional life in Crete, which we found at Riza apartments.
