Memories of Makrigialis
A lovely property overlooking Makrigialos Bay!
Balcony was perfect for breakfasts, lunches and family time after our evening meal in a wide variety of tavernas across the area.
The pool is perfect for a gentle swim or family games and the enclosed jacuzzi at one end added to the relaxing experience.
Eleni, our host, could not have been more helpful. She provided a fabulous welcome package and detailed information about the area. Through chatting with her we were able to choose a variety of beaches to visit. We loved Staoysa beach, rocky but great for snorkelling and its idyllic taverna at the top - Oasis. The food is fresh, authentic and the setting is beautiful and all the better for being away from the more touristy tavernas we visited in Makrigialos.
We would definitely recommend a visit to Chrissi Island, on a smaller boat to get the full experience, and a trip to Xerokampos with its stunning sandy beach, on the east side of the island. Also, a trip up the mountain along a windy road to the taverna in Pethki is not one to miss!
A car is essential to enable you to fully experience this beautiful part of Crete. We decided against the 24 minute walk to the local beach (much longer coming back we decided) and instead we explored by car - resulting in a far richer and more enjoyable holiday experience !
