Perfect family base for exploring eastern Crete
We really loved everything about Vangelis Villas. Our beautiful, comfortable and immaculate apartment gave us the perfect base for our family holiday, and we felt really well looked after - although the apartments are technically self catering, towels, toilet rolls, etc are provided, housekeeping come in daily and there's breakfast/dinner and a bar available if you need it. A nice selection of essentials (milk, water, tea/coffee and fruit) was also waiting for us when we arrived.
The view over the bay of Mirabello is absolutely stunning, and the children loved the pool and the garden. The location just 10 minutes drive from Agios Nikolaos meant that we didn't have far to go to eat out or buy anything we needed, and there's so much to do in the area - the semi-submersible trip from Agios Nikolaos harbour was a particular highlight for us, and it's only about an hour's drive to Lasithi Plateau and the incredible cave at Dikti. There's something to do every day if you want to, but otherwise the villas are a really lovely place to just relax and enjoy the sunshine.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vangelis Villas.
