“Nice apartments near the airport and the beach”
A kind owner who allowed us to check in early and we are very grateful for that. We needed an apartment near the airport as we had an overnight flight and this apartment really met our expectations, we wish we had spent more time there. Close to a nice beach and there is also a swimming pool and a very nice yard. Inside, everything was clean. The beds were comfortable, wi-fi was good, and there were enough parking spaces in front of the apartment.

The swimming pool really well kept, salted water so i must say particular overall, the lady gave me immediately precise and correct infos about buses and supermakets and she was always available in case of Need. Pity that they are building right in front of the hotel were there was nothing before, so the view Is not so open anymore on the near beach but still good, the Crete Aquarium it's very nice to visit and i was lucky to stay so near we saw It twice included the VR

“Clean, Great pool, wonderful hosts”
The owner and her daughter were very kind. The pool is well kept and the area around the pool is very clean. 10 minute walk to bus stop to the airport or Malia. Also great bakery and small supermarket well stocked and reasonable prices.

“Fabulous hosts, apartment had what we needed, always room around pool and beach 2 min walk!”
The host and her daughter could not do enough for us, my father has a few mobility issues and they were extremely helpful, calling taxis, checking on us often,

We were met by the host late at night and provided with a full bottle of water which was much appreciated! The host was super friendly and flexible with the check out time. As we only stayed for one night , we did not explore the area but the apartment was really close to the sea.
