Uncle George Apartments

This hotel is owned by a small greek family, Costas and Artemis. They make you feel extremely welcome and cannot do enough for you. The room was traditional greek, very clean, but the plumbing leaves a bit to be desired. I must say that I think the bin in the toilet where you have to put your used toilet paper should be emptied every, in fact we emptied ours ourselves as the maid only comes in once a week and changes the sheets. Make sure also that you bring some extra toiler roll with you as once you've used up the one and only roll they give you, then you have to go and buy your others from the shop!! Breakfast is typical greek, fresh bread, kerrygold butter, jams, cheese and ham and some very tasty perculated coffee. The meals we had on half board basis were a little bit repetative, Tsasiki every night as a starter and pasta at least three times in the week we were there. You also get a free couple of shots of raki afterwards. Desserts were usually fresh fruit sliced up. The resort itself is really nice, but could do with being tidied up as there seems quite a bit of a mess on some of the side streets. Beach is nice, but again could do with a good clean up. Beach bar (I think it was called Heaven) dont charge for using their sunbeds, but would appreciate you having a drink out of their cafe, but dont feel obliged to (although we some really nice lunches in there). A great bar is across the road called Stellas 2.50 euros large beer and 2.50 glass wine. Bus into Heraklion is 1.50 euros each way, but gets quite packed. Would recommend for a traditional greek feel, although we were the only two tourists in the hotel in May !! Enjoy and Yammas

We recommend these apartments to anyone wanting a good holiday.Although we were self catering we ate every night of our stay in the restaurant as you could not find better food anywhere. This family run business was second to none and the hospitality was excellent. The owners Costas and Artemis welcomed us with open arms and did their very best to make our stay with them memorable.
The one bedroom apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed, it was spotlessly clean with fresh linen etc.
The location was good with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants on the doorstep along with local transport outside the door.
We could not have wished for a better holiday and that was mainly due to the brilliant way we were treated by the owners.
We will certainly be going back again next year.

We couldn't have wished for a nicer holiday. the people were friendly the food in the taverna at Uncle George's was great and the pool next door run by George and his wife was spotless and they could not help enough with directions.
Would recommend it to anyone.
