Mythos Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

We've just returned from a 2 week stay at the mythos aparts. I can honestly say its been one of the best holidays we,ve had. The apartments were clean, well mantained & comfortable. Although i would say the kitchen area is very small and i dont think you'd be able to cook an evening meal but its ample to prepare breakfast or a midday snack. The owner panos is friendly, helpful and is available at anytime should you need anything. As in all the reviews the aparts are located on a fairly steep hill and probably not suitable for elderly holiday makers. However the walk is only about 5-10mins from the main square. The aparts position unfortunately makes it not accessible for the transfer coach to drive up to so the coach drops you in the main square and panos meets you to take your luggage in his van to the apartments. The pool area at the mythos looks smaller in photos than actually is. Although in high season if you are not an early riser you may be found searching for a sunbed. The food at the pool bar are of generous portions and very reasonably priced. We can recommend trying one of georgias full english breakfasts which are served with toast,orange juice and tea/coffee. Out in the resort itself you'll find its a very popular scandanavian resort so if you expect to find english dishes on the menu you'll be dissapointed. Nearly all the restaraunts have a fine selection of greek and local cusine though. There is a very good chinese restaraunt along the main road (bottom of hill turn right 400yrds) the food was good and a nice price for a family of 6. Out of the aparts turn right going uphill will bring you to restaraunts with wonderful views recommend viglis for the best view and decent food, watching the sunset from viglis top floor is something not to be missed make sure you take your camera. The astrea restaraunt is shortly before viglis and a great night out for a more traditional greek eve (mon, wed, fri only) with dancers, music and audience participation most welcome, i must say at this point be prepared for an alcoholic feast of an evening as the staff are well renown for constantly coming round with shots of raki, ouzo, brandy and anything else with an alcoholic content so be prepared if you leave a shot glass empty it'll soon be refilled. If you go in season air con is a must, the 2 weeks we were there the temp ranged from 36c-42c. The excursions with the tour company were very expensive and you can do most of the trips on offer much cheaper by either a very good local bus service or by the little train company suituated in the main square at the foot of the steps. All in all we had a very enjoyable 1st visit to crete and the mythos being small and friendly made it easy to make friends with other holidaymakers that were staying there. If you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday in friendly surroundings look no further. We would definately visit again.
