“comfortable and friendly. Excellent value for money.”
On arrival, we were greeted by Georgios’s son who carried our heavy cases to the room. we were left a gift of a small carafe of wine which was a lovely touch. During the week we were also left some cake and before we returned home , had the choice of raki or wine to bring home. The apartments are basic but large and comfortable The shower always had hot water and our balcony was huge with a lovely little table with a tablecloth and a good size washing airer. We never cook for ourselves on holiday but a kettle and a toaster are essential for a hot drink and some toast to get the day going so perfect for us we also had a tea towel, washing up liquid. and a sponge . The apartments are peaceful and set slightly out the way on a side street but so close to the main strip and for us , although out 5th time in Stalis , the location introduced us to restaurants we had never been to before. George will also arrange your transfers if required which again , we found really helpful.

“Great experience”
Location 2 minutes distance from the beach. Also practically in the center, shops, souvenirs, restaurants are there. Still quite hidden from the noise and traffic. And the best part: Giorgos, the perfect host!

“I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! 👌🏾 🫶🏾”
The owner, George, is very nice, helpful and flexible. The apartment is very pleasant, clean, sophisticated and perfectly equipped with everything. They cleaned and changed towels twice in 7 days. When I arrived, the host's own wine was prepared in the room, and when I left, I received home-made raki. ☺️ Shops, supermarkets, restaurants and the beach are a few minutes' walk away.

Everything was excellent, from accommodation to staff and location. The room was clean, spacious, well decorated, and equipped. Giorgos, the owner is very kind. WiFi was stable, and the connection was fast. The beach is a 1-minute walk from the apartment, and there are good restaurants and shops nearby. Also, it's near the pedestrian zone, so you can walk at night.

“Excellent sea-view apartment in exotic garden with professional and friendly host”
The sea-view apartment, with two balconies and exotic garden with palms and other flowers and plants that makes the rooms smell like jasmine and frangipani. Excellent as the base for exploring east and south-east of Crete because of the vicinity of major attractions, beaches, mountain villages, monasteries, caves and mind-blowing archeological sites. It is located within one minute walk from the sandy beach. The host is hospitable, always available and helpful Jorgos who makes his own wine and makes you feel like part of the family. We stayed 14 days in the apartment and would gladly come again.
