The view from the property is unbeatable. The apartment was very clean and it was great to have access to a balcony. Yiannis and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed our stay for 2 nights. The swimming pool was small but enough for playing in the water with my kid. The location was peaceful and isolated, ideal for relaxing. The room was spacious and very clean.

Nice place between Palekastro and the seaside.

Nice place, good view, big room, large bed, small shop in the village at less than 5 min by foot. The owners of the apartments have a restaurant in the village. Very good place to eat!

Well situated confortable apartment.

Lovely small apartment block in the middle of the olive groves just outside Agathia. Very quiet! Amazing views across the olive groves to the sea and mountains. Pool is a great feature, but too cold for us in May (we have been visited before at the end of the season when it is warmer). The very friendly family also own the excellent Elia Taverna in the village - not to be missed.

Would definitely return to the property. LOVED it.

I stayed in 6 hotels in Crete for my 8-day holidays. This was the best property I stayed in. By far the better worth for its price. Big sized studio with king-size beds and a big bathroom with a bath. Nice balcony with seaside view. It also has the best bonus you can get- a swimming pool with a seaside view as well. The receptionist (probably the owner) was very kind and helpful with everything. 12/10. Cannot recommend enough.

I wonder how this property can have an 8.7 rating on Booking...

Good location to explore the region. The view from the balcony was very nice. The pool seemed nice as well but we didn't go for a swim, so cannot really comment on that.

~ Pleasant stay ~

Favorite part of our stay was enjoying the sunrises from the balcony while having our little breakfast (cup of tea to warm ourselves, delicious local yogurt with thyme honey). The place is in the middle of nature and you're basically surrounded by olive trees. We liked that a lot. Tranquility. Peaceful atmosphere. Clean and spacious apartment-room. The pool is really nice, it's a pity that we didn't get to enjoy it (the water was too cold, most probably because of the season). A minimarket nearby with some traditional products and a great place to eat really close called 'Agistri' (went there three times). We visited the closest beaches easily. Thank you, we had a very pleasant stay!
