I travelled with my 7 year old daughter for a week's sunshine during the summer holidays. I've stayed around this part of Western Crete in the past, so knew the area. There's an excellent and frequent bus route along this coast. While we were there, the weather was good but sea bathing was inadvisable. Although there are newer apartments to... more

The weather in August was around 32 degrees, (hot), but... more

We have just returned from the Pardalakis Studios in Gerani, Crete. We did not know what to expect as this was only a 2 star accommodation and brochures said it could be noisy as it was on a main road. We arrived about 11.30pm and were met by the owners off the coach and their family and invited to the... more
