The Crete region
Crete is beautiful. Visit the capital city, Iraklion and see the fortress and Venetian walls. Take in the wonderful coastal scenes and enjoy the peaceful rugged landscape. This lovely island is full of history and culture. Great for beaches and sunbathing, walks, bird watching, visiting ancient sites, and the local wines and olive oils.
Makrigialos area
Eliana Apartments are located within the olive groves outside the village of Makrigialos on the South East coast of Crete, with 45 minutes travelling time to the proposed site for a major golf complex, encompassing hotels, residential and international tourist amenities, whilst maintaining it's rural aspect. Makrigialos is approximately 30 minutes from Sitia - a large provincial town. Sitia airport is extending it's international destinations for 2006/7.
Makrigialos is a thriving village with many tavernas to choose from, as well as a butcher, supermarkets and a patisserie to rival those found on the Cote D'azur! It is lovely to sit by the picturesque harbour, watching the brightly coloured fishing boats return with their catch in the late afternoon sun, sipping a local beer or coffee and enjoying the sun setting on the long sandy beach of Makrigialos
There is an excellent and reliable bus service to Sitia and Irepetra. Boat trips around the area should not be missed. The sea is warm, clear and safe, with a large choice of beaches (including naturist!). There is quite a large expat community and most locals speak English to some degree.
