“Ideal location to relax and explore.” A lovely apartment, in a picturesque location. Ideal for a couple or single person to explore the local area. Interesting walks on your doorstep and the sea and beach are only 10 minutes away by car, where you'll find a small resort with taverna's to relax in. The apartment is well equiped and has all you will need for your stay, including a large area outside to relax in the sun or admire the views. Main towns are easily accessed via car or bus. I can thoroughly recommend a stay, an ideal spot to 'recharge your batteries' and good value for money.

Lovely studio with fantastic outside space,the walks from the door were superb.The area is also great for bird spotting.We spent one month on Crete in four different locations,and this was our favourite as the local area had everything you could want.We thoroughly enjoyed a taste of real Crete,and we liked our friendly but not intrusive hosts.

Lovely peaceful apartment located in a traditional Cretan village and set in beautiful surroundings. Very clean and comfortable with a beautiful terrace and all the necessary appliances.
We enjoyed the beaches,the historical sites and the company of our friendly and helpful hosts and would recommend this location to anyone looking for a real Cretan experience. Thanks again for your hospitality.
