We had a wonderful stay at Villa Konstantina. The villa is comfortable and well equipped, and the service from Agni impeccable. The owner Stratos was very friendly and keen to help if we had any problems, he even bought us a free meal at his Taverna in Rhetymno. The view from the villa is spectacular and it’s only a 15min walk to Aptera where there are a choice of Delightful tavernas, we ate there most days. We would be happy to stay here again. Crete is a beautiful island, especially in the western part. Kalyves was one on the best beaches we have ever visited and would recommend that to anyone. There are a choice if bars and restaurants, and doesn’t appear to be a charge for use of the sun beds and parasols. Driving is a bit tricky as there doesn’t appear to be any rules for overtaking, people casually cross double white lines to overtake, in in the face of oncoming traffic. It’s necessary to pull right over to all overtaking traffic to pass. The weather was glorious for most of time although we had some rain and high winds during October. Maybe April and May are better for out if season travellers.
