We stayed at this apartment complex in September 2011. We had a one bedroomed apartment and there was just the two of us, so we had a bedroom each. The kitchen area is small but has all you need, but self catering would be ok if you dont want to cook hot as there are only two rings. The shower unfortunately was a typical greek one, coldish water and hand held attatchements, but this is not a problem as it was very hot whilst we where there.The pool area is good with sunbeds all around. The apartments are on a tight bend near a bus stop, but as we hired a car for the week, being out of the main town was just what we where looking for. The views are just brilliant and i have included a couple of photos so you can see for yourselves.Maria is very helpful and we had a lovely stay here.

This was my first time in crete I cannot believe how fantastic both nikos and
And maria are,maria who is the cleaner of the appartments is worth her weight
Weight in gold one hundred times over is amazing my wee nephew kenzie absolutly
Adored her this lady deserves a medal.
Nikos who runs the bar at night is a definite gentleman and would do anything
To help you an absolute diamond.
I will be back next year without a doubt for the fantastic cocktails!!!

We are just back from our August-Sept Honeymoon staying in the Kalithea Appartments. We had a very warm welcome from Maria who i called the trojan as she is so hard working and funny trying out her English while skipping between appartments to clean and the reception to mind. On our first day she gave us pool items for the kids she had saved over the summer and saved us so many Euros on inflatables,we left them for the next guests too. Nikos managed the bar at night where we sat after a trip back from town and played pool with the kids before bed.You can order food from the fantastic Twins delivery service which done club sarnis to souvalaki but the pizza where stone baked and fresh,id also recommend pasta chicken Polla.We stayed by the lovely kept clean pool with the kids most days having Twins for lunch or the local shop in Elounda (by car) We travelled into Agg.Nik everynight for the night life which the kids loved and we relaxed-taxis are plenty so you can choose hire car or taxi as well as a bus right outside the appartment but stops around 8:30pm. The views are amazing and a relaxing nightcap on the balcony before bed while the kids slept was great.We had a fridge,freezer,cooker and all we needed in a well stocked kitchen although dated just added to the cretan feel ...great place,fantastic honeymoon -cant wait to go back next year.

This is the second time my family and I have stayed at these apartments. They are situated between Ag Nik and Elounda and a car is a must. There is a bus service to both Ag Nik and Elounda right outside the apartments these are both frequent and remarkably punctual, the knack is to be at the stop for 10mins after it leaves Ag Nik or Elounda. The apartments are basic as is normal for Greece. Our apartment was one bedroom (Double Bed) there was a seperate Shower room and toilet. The Lounge had two single sofa beds and divided into a kitchen area. The room was very spacious as was the balcony (Half the size of a squash court) All the apartments I saw had such large balconys some with views to Spinalonga Island the others to Ag Nik. The swimming pool is great but deep , my wife is 5'2" and could only stand by the corner steps. The apartments are owned by three owners Vangellis from Aquarius Bar Ag Nik, the owner of Twins a restraunt in Ag Nik which will deliver food to the apartments and the owner of puerto a bar in Ag Nik. This place is amazing value for all it as to offer as long as you dont mind either driving, Bus or Taxi. Taxi from Ag Nik is 9 Euro which compared to Cyprus (2011) I thought was reasonable the distance from Ag Nik is about 4km and the same for Elounda.
Places to go;---- Plaka and Spinalongais a must as is the Happy Train from Elounda up into the mountains and a village called Selles. The trip is about 3 hours and cost 17 Euros. Lunch at Taverna in Selles a guided tour of Selles church and the village. Then to a war memorial. Plenty of stops and photo opportunities. The guide Karen is the craziest and loveliest lady you will ever meet. Best beach Ammoudi beach just before town of Ag Nik and best Taverna Knossos opposite Ammoudi Beach. Stifado and Kleftico to die for.
Finally at Kalithea is the best lady you will ever meet MARIA she has been well mentioned before in other reviews but this lady works 12 hours only being paid for 8 so if you are happy with MARIA please leave a tip to boost her wages. She is well worth every penny.
