We had a wonderful time. Rosemary and family made us feel so welcome and secure. The apartment and complex are fantastic. I hope to come back here sometime soon. We enjoyed visiting Knossos and Spinalonga. If you catch the ferry from Elounda instead of Agios Nikolaos then you will have a lovely time there too. Thank you so much everyone

We have had a marvelous 2 weeks in Makrigialos. The house is so well designed and the pool and gardens are a delight. We were surprised how much we enjoyed the amazing beach - so warm for swimming - we found it hard to tear ourselves away. An excellent choice of bars and restaurants - much our favourite was Stratos on the next beach, west behind the harbour. We also enjoyed the Gecko bar and Olympio Cafe

Thank you Wendy and Phil, Rosemary and Nico

We enjoyed our walks down towards the harbour and had snacks and wine at the cafe with the big black cat. Out main eating place at night was 'Porfina' Thank you Wendy and Phil for letting us use your home and a special thank you to Rosemary and Nico for a lovely welcome and keeping everything running smoothly.

Lovely, relaxing holiday. perfect weather, sunny every day, not a cloud in the sky. Accommodation and pool are perfect - so nice to have a pool big enough for a decent swim. Last time we were in Crete was nearly 30 years ago and it was great to go back to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda. having just read the book 'The Island', it was great to visit Spinalonga ( boat from Elounda). A great holiday!
