“Here is a family-run hotel, with apartments that provide ample space, some sleeping up to five, near Crete's sandy shore. The hotel sits a comfortable distance from the bustle of Hersonissos, enhanced by a bar shaded with olive trees. I find the location appealing because it is close to the beach and offers regular bus routes to nearby attractions like Gouves Beach, Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos, and Knossos Minoan Palace.”
