Aptera Bay View Apartments, Megala Horafia, Crete

Meticulously cared for by two brothers and their delightful sister and perched on the hill above Souda Bay, the Aptera Bay View apartments, share a privileged position overlooking Souda Bay  a view first enjoyed by the Minoans when they built their fortress at Aptera  just over 500 meters away. Chosen as a good viewpoint then, it still cuts the mustard these days and although theres no longer any need to keep watch for pirates, its certainly very pleasant to sit on your balcony at breakfast with a bowl of yogurt and honey and watch the ferries and fishing boats plying their way across the bay. Perfect for a holiday in Crete where the culture of sigar, sigar (slowly, slowly) gradually seeps into your being.

These smart, sparkling white apartments, arranged in two units, have a generosity in their layout which is reflected in the prettily flowered gardens in which they sit.
The lovely 6.30m x 13.50m pool has a separate childrens pool and is set beside a large lawn, with space a plenty for sun beds under the shade of the palm trees.
Conveniently, three tavernas can be found in the village of Megala Horafia, 1 km away, as well as a small mini market. A further 3 kms brings you to the tiny hamlet of Kyani with a choice of 2 tavernas and a quiet sandy beach and if you drive for  5 minute more you will arrive at  the bustling seaside town of Kalives.

Two Bedroom Apartments.
The four first floor apartments, two to each unit have entrance doors leading from a balcony into a large open plan living area furnished with Cretan sofa and arm chairs and solid wooden dining and chairs. Two sets of French doors open onto sea view balconies, furnished with outside dining furniture. The kitchenette has tidy a run of wooden cupboards, a two ring hob, a small oven and a fridge.
Both bedrooms have air conditioning and the double bedroom has its own sea view balcony, whilst the twin bedroom shares a sea view balcony with the living room as well as having its own sunny balcony to the front of the apartment. The bedrooms share a tiled shower room.
