Olive Grove Apartments

We nearly didn’t go to Crete because of quarantining on our return. I’m so pleased we did and that we returned to Olive Grove apartments. Due to COVID 19 there were lots of empty apartments, but our welcome was just as warm as usual. We arrived on the late flight but were in time to be served some lovely Rose wine by Jenny before the midnight curfew. Our hosts, Dimitri, Julia, Manos and Hayley were all on hand as usual. I know it’s been a difficult year for them but it was good to spend extra time with them. Again the apartment was very clean and comfortable and had a welcoming half litre of Rose in the fridge. We hope that next season the apartments will be full again and we’ll be able to make full use of their lovely new bar. Thank you again to the Oikonomakis family, Jenny and Pat for a wonderful stay at Olive Grove Apartments.

We’ve just returned from a weeks stay at the Olive Grove and have only positive things to say. The apartment we stayed in (and I believe they’re all Very similar) was a 1 bedroom apartment. The apartment has a spacious lounge with an open plan kitchen (there is a single bed in the lounge Which I imagine is useful for families). The apartment holds all the appliances you require such as an iron & hairdryer. We had 2 balconies, 1 of which has a very handy washing line. The pool is large with a children’s area sectioned off. Dimitri takes a lot of pride and effort in managing and looking after the pool. He is there daily meticulously cleaning and checking the pool. The Olive Grove has a very welcoming bar where you can take advantage and have a drink to cool you down, we met some of the other holidaymakers there and everyone is so friendly. It was evident these people had known each other from previous holidays at the Olive Grove and even though we rarely return to any holiday location twice, we will definitely be returning to the Olive Grove, I completely understand why people return year after year. Thanks to Jenny in the bar in the evening who always gave us warm welcome when we returned from our evening meal to have a nightcap (or 2) with everyone else. Manos and family (the owners) are exceptionally welcoming and always there to answer any questions or help. Never had such a warm welcome, they are there every day on hand should you have any queries. The location of the Olive Grove is also a huge bonus, you literally step outside from the apartments and the beach is less than 5 minutes away, you also find yourself within the town within seconds. There are plenty of great restaurants to visit, too many for our weeks break and we never had a disappointing meal, all fabulous. Don’t hesitate booking this place for your accommodation, it’s worth every penny.
