Booked for 14 nights direct and paid a 10% deposit upfront. Arrived at Midnight at Heraklion airport expecting to be met by our Taxi arranged by Elena.

We've just returned from a 10 day holiday in Matala, staying at Dimitris Villa. Overall the accomodation is clean and is in good decorative order.

Dimitris in his... more
