"Pros: The apartment was clean and well equipped. We really appreciate the comfortable bed and the pillows. Location is right on a beach with clear water and not windy. The coffee shop next door has very good coffee. The accomodation had chairs and umbrellas that we could use for the beach and also free sunbed set in front of the bar." ~Andra

"Pros: We stayed there for a full week to have some relaxing and quiet days off. There is a great terrace where you can enjoy dinner while having a beautiful view of the sea. The same great view you will have when looking out of the kitchen and the main bedroom on the first floor. The house had really everything listed on booking.com and even much more. We had an extremely warm welcome and upon arrival there was already Tania waiting for us who introduced us with the house and gave us some recommendations for beaches and villages nearby. There even were some water bottles and very delicious fruits and sweets prepared. The communication with the host was excellent and always very(!) quick. Located directly at a small beach the house is separated only by one small street. There are a few cars passing, but not frequently. The village itself is very small, non-touristic and the area mainly consists of greenhouses. So basically a workers village I would say. That is the reason why there are primarily locals and seasonal workers living there -- you will probably not find many tourists. So make sure that you do not expect restaurants, many shops or a busy nightlife (this is not what we were aiming for). Within walking distance there is one (really good) coffee shop, a supermarket which you can reach within a few meters and a bakery. It is also a good starting point for many great beaches nearby. The closest larger city is Ierapetra which you can reach in a few minute's drive (as well as Myrtos which is very nice). Something which really impressed us was the friendliness of the host and the locals living next doors: we got fresh tomatoes almost everyday, some came over and gave us fresh flowers from their garden and others invited us to join them fishing on the beach. Many thanks especially to Fiona and Tania! We would recommend the place to others looking for some quiet days off at a non-touristic village at the beach away from the action!" ~Michael

"Pros: Maybe the town Gra Lygia is not a tourist one, but the apartment were amazing, probably best in town. The view from terrace was amazing and only ten steps from the sea. Inside everything were very new equipped and clean. Air conditioning systems were very helpful. We had all facilities in place, even Nescafé coffee machine with a coffee were in this apartment. We spent 5 amazing days there, but for more activity and tourist place need to drive short road to Ierapetra region. The owners are really nice family, helped us a lot with recommendations and other stuff. We stayed win this place and traveled around Ierapetra side for 5 days after active travelling in the North of Crete. So if you are looking a super cozy, nice and spacious apartment in not tourist crowded town for a calm rest, we definitely recommend this place. By the way all recommended places and restaurants were amazing. Also super nice owners mother in law everyday provided us some fresh fruit and even shared her homemade Greek dishes which were amazing. Thank you a lot for our super awesome stay! Greetings from Vilnius, Lithuania. Cons: Internet could be better, but I guess the problem are more about the area itself, because my phone internet was very awful as well. But 100 meter from the apartment it worked very well." ~Donatas

"Pros: The host is very nice and very helpful. Cons: The house is offered for large groups, but it really allows only 7 people max (2 couples and 3 singles)" ~Agustin
