Heaven on Crete! This place was absolutely perfect for my family of 3. The name "studio" is misleading as it has 2 separate bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a twin. The apartment was clean and spacious with all the amenities we could have needed for our week long stay. Full kitchen with coffee and tea makers, blender, toaster, mini fridge. Roxane even left some snacks, fruit, water, juice and bottle of wine which were much appreciated as our flight got in late and we didn't have the opportunity to shop our first night. Location: This was the BEST part! Roxane's apartment overlooks the beautiful town of Amlyrida and the Souda Bay, with gorgeous sunsets each night. The steps behind the pool lead right down to the beach and main road right into town with LOTS of delicious restaurant choices, bakeries, coffee shops, and souvenir shops. The town is quaint and easy to navigate; a perfect location just 40 minutes from Chania and easy drive to other tourist attractions--though if you wanted to stay in Amlyrida your whole stay it would be easy to do! The pool overlooking the bay is picturesque, clean, and a great spot to relax in the sun (or shade!). Host: Roxane was so accommodating and replied quickly to any questions we had. She offered many great restaurant recommendations. Very welcoming! We couldn't have asked for anything more and hope to come back soon!
