Getting around

The island is the largest of the Greek islands and a car is necessary to travel far. Buses cover most villages but are scarce. Cities and towns are covered by regular services which are relatively cheap. The apartment is handily placed for travel as it is a 2 minute drive to the main E75 road which goes from one end of the island to the other. The standard of the major roads is reasonable and make travel east, west or south easy. The scenery is pretty and colourful, the mountains are majestic and the sea is clear blue. There are also many historical sites to see of which Cretans are justly proud and within half an hour you can be in the mountains with cooler air.

Interaction with guest

We will respect your privacy during your stay but if you need help re ideas of where to go, there is literature in the apartment and my friends in the house above will help all they can. They are well aware of the intricacies of life in Greece and so you will only have to ask.

“Great Holiday location in a relaxed rural setting”

Reviewed 8 Sep 2018

The apartment is well equipped and has more clothes hanging/drawer space than any hotel we have stayed in. It formed an ideal base for touring the East of Crete which can only be done in a car at a gentle pace once you leave the main roads! The neighbors upstairs were friendly and helpful as to where to go and how to get there. We were so relaxed that our typical day started out at 11am - and we will be back for more. Many Thanks John -- from Derek & Jenny

“Beech Grove Sissi”

Reviewed 8 Sep 2017

A very comfortable apartment in a beautiful location. A car is required as the location is very off the beaten track. It does have easy access to the beach at Potarmos which is very well equipped and has fantastic views of the mountains behind. Sissi and Neapoli are great places to shop for groceries, both having bakeries and butchers and Neapoli has a superb supermarket. Milatos is a beautiful little village a few miles away with great restaurants in a quiet harbour location. Debbie and Duncan, who live up stairs, were wonderful hosts with lots of local knowledge and very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended holiday accommodation and location. The people of Crete are a breath of fresh air! Wonderful.
