EFFI WAS MASSIVELY FRIENDLY HELPFUL AND VERY LOVELY. SHE SEND US A MESSAGE WITH GOOD RESTAURANTS AND ALLOWED US TO STAY LATER ON OUR DAY OF DEPARTURE. IT WAS A STONES THROW FROM THE BEACH AND A 3 MINUTE WALK TO THE MAIN DRAG OF SHOPS AND RESTAURANT. THE ROOM WAS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH A FRIDGE, 2 PLATE STOFE, KETTLE TOASTER A MINI KITCHEN BASICALLY THAT IS PERFECT FOR 2 PEOPLE WANTING TO MAKE BREAKFAST. WE ONLY HAD ONE NIGHT BUT WOULD 100% RETURN.

The host was super friendly and made an effort to ensure my arrival and stay was top notch, I arrived late on Tuesday night and she had prepared with a taxi pick up, water, and snacks in the room. She suggested places to visit and was always available through whatsapp if and when I needed to sound board with her - 10/10 stay!
The area was calm, but still in the very center of Platanias, and had good agreements with some of the restaurants and bars in the surrounding area.

Location.
Beach was quite depressing after seeing the other beaches in the area. If I go back to Crete, I'm avoiding the beach hotels because the best beaches are accessed via hiking.

Everything was great. The appartment was right next to the sea and we enjoyed the nights with the sound of the waves.
Effi and her mother recommended us great beaches and restaurants in the area and even borrowed us a sun umbrella, when we discovered the island.
The breakfast is not included but you can book a menu for 6 Euros and it is very tasty.
Nothing to complain

Its directly at the beach, takes two minutes to get to the sea. Effi, the proprietor is extremely helpful and friendly . Also there is a lovely garden, to sit and overlook the sea. The beach is sandy and has only very little pebbles, you can walk on without tiptoeing.

This was our second stay at Effi's apartments. Again it was a wonderful time. Effi and her Mama along with all the rest of the staff are the kindest people we have met. I could spend hours talking with them. The apartment we stayed in was beautiful. The entire complex is totally renovated. I could spend weeks there in such a beautiful setting.
