Family vacation at Elia Apartments. This is a cozy apartment in Analipsi. We were met immediately from the bus by a positive guy, our hotel guide, who took us to the hotel. Lyudmila was waiting for us there. She spoke Russian, which was very nice. Lyudmila can always be found at the bar, as she is also in charge of the kitchen. Or we wrote to the hotel guide and he decided everything. The hotel has several buildings, we were settled in a new one.

Spacious room, there were several balconies, there was even a clothes dryer. From the window there was a beautiful view of the mountains and the olive grove. To be honest, it's amazing how many olives there are. There seems to be some kind of reserve of these trees nearby. Very beautiful and green, but cicadas live in these olives. Which make very loud noises all day long. At night they are replaced by crickets.


The hotel is far from the sea, walk about 15 minutes on asphalt. There are many shops and cafes along the way. We went either to Orange or Sims. They have delicious cold coffee.
It's called Fredo espresso/cappuccino and costs 1.80 euros. The beaches are long, prices are 6 euros for two sunbeds and umbrellas. We rested in July and our whole holiday was blown by a crazy wind. The waves were constant, it was difficult to swim. Therefore, we went on sea excursions. Chrissi, Spigalonga, Blue Lagoon, once rolled into the Aquapark.

Also pleased with the children's pool and pool for adults. Big, comfortable, clean.

The food in the hotel itself was very tasty. The choice is small, of desserts only watermelon, but it's good that everything is always fresh and homemade. The hotel works only on the basis of breakfast and dinner, so we went to lunch in cafes, of which there are a lot nearby.

It is convenient that the hotel is right next to the bus stop where municipal buses run. We traveled independently to Heraklion and Hersoeisos. 1.80 per person. Only the bus wait a long time, and so we liked it.

During our entire stay, I did not see a single cockroach or any bug.
But there were many kittens, from which my children were delighted.

In general, the hotel can be recommended as an economy hotel for a quiet and family vacation. Many took cars, a whole car park was organized near the hotel, and they drove in different directions and to the beach. The youth would be bored here. Homemade food, no frills, far from the beach, no animation. But for couples with children, like us, it was perfect.
