Excellent spacious apartment and great pool

The apartment is absolutely perfect for a family with 3 children/teens and has all you need to spend a fantastic family holiday. The pool is great due to its division in several parts and allows for playing games in one part of the pool without disturbing other guests in other parts of the pool. The beaches within walking distance are okay but we found nicer beaches further away which was fine as we had a rental car.

Tolle Ferienwohnung

Schöne Ferienwohnung, top ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Auch der Pool in der Anlage ist super und ganz in der Nähe gibt es eine kleine Badebucht die man fast für sich alleine hat (auch nett zum schnorcheln). Am Rand von Panormos gelegen, aber zu Fuß ist das Zentrum in gut 10 Minuten zu erreichen.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Roberts and Despina Roberts

Host profile image
Hi - We're Tom and Despina. We have two children and live in London, United Kingdom. We purchased Athena’s Hideaway having rented and stayed at the Panorama Seafront Homes II on numerous previous occasions following an introduction by a friend. The development is perfect for children and adults to relax, with beautiful settings with a large 3 circle communal pool and baby pool. There is a great mix of people from Europe and beyond including the UK, Netherlands, Isreal, Norway and Greece.
The nearby traditional fishing village of Panormo is tranquil with friendly people, numerous local and higher end restaurants serving a wide variety of food, including fresh fish, traditional Cretan dishes, and modern twists on local recipes. There are also bars and if lucky live impromptu music.

There are also varies, stores, pharmacy and supermarkets catering for everything needed for a stay in Crete. Located in the middle north of the island, close to Rethymno, it is the perfect location to explore the island of Crete.
