“A lovely clean, comfortable apartment with amazing views in a scecluded bay. Highly recommend.”
Clean, good location and Eleni was incredibly helpful and great with communication. Tavernas and cafe in walking distance, but taxis were also easy and Eleni provided a contact that knew the property.

“Perfect base for exploring Crete or Just be lazy and spend a whole week without moving from there.”
View is just incredible, apartment is just perfect sized and you can decide to have dinner on one of the 2 terraces cooking on your own or go out for some reataurant, if to stay in the private little beach or pool or explore Crete, privacy Is great, very easy to find the apartment and close parking, just needs to be a little smart and understand the best direction to take depending where you have to go.

“Wonderful place”
Wonderful place with outstanding view and private beach access. It is well-equiped and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there. The location is good, it is 15mins by car from Heraklion Airport. There was also good contact with the host. I can surely recommend staying there while visiting Crete

“Loved the house itself and ended up just staying put for three days only going out in the car each night for dinner.”
Right on the ocean, had a sun deck on the roof and a swimming pool. It was quite private and quiet. Reasonably well equipped. Bottled water and a couple of beers and a few items to eat.

The apartment was great, just exactly what we wanted. East facing, so we could enjoyed the terrace and the sea view the whole day. Pleasant surprise for us was the roof top terrace that also had a great view. There were some welcome snacks and water that was a nice touch.

“(Picture) Perfect!”
The location is absolutely amazing. It is literally on top of the sea, ie on top of a small pebble beach (shared essentially only with the apartment neighbors). You can go swimming by going down a flight of stairs. There is very little room for sunbathing at the beach in high tide, but we had a lot of space for sunbathing on the terrace, and comfy loungers.
