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.
