We stayed in Petros Villages from the 17th of July until the 31st. We had a great stay. We came here due to an overbooking by our touroperator. So we got lucky somehow. We read many positive reviews and we can simply add another one to this. ||||Keep in mind that this is a 2/3 star appartement. The last couple of bookings we had similar kinds of appartements or AirBnB-accommodations. With a swimming pool, small restaurant, poolbar, pool table and table tennis we got enough facilities to start with in Petros Villages. Add the lovely family who runs this place and you can be easily satisfied as well. ||||The village Analipsi you can reach by a 15-minute walk. There you can find a couple of supermarkets that can supply you with the food and drinks you need. Fresh vegetables is a little difficult though, cause the all inclusive resorts has destroyed a lot of local businesses (restaurants, supermarkets, taxi drivers; they all have a hard time). In case you don’t want to carry all the stuff from the village (a little) up the hill to Petros Villages, than don’t: eat at Petros Villages. They have several meals to serve and even for us vegans they were able to impovise. And the prices are very good. ||||The sea by the way is also a 15-minute walk. The beaches are quite good. Near The Wine Bar (ask the locals) you have great beaches where you can get two beds and a beach umbrella for € 6,- a day. Again: save the walk as the nice swimming pool in Petros Village can satisfy you easily. ||||The bus to popular places such as Chersonissos (€ 1,80 pp), Malia (€ 2,10 pp) and Heraklion (€ 2,40 pp) stops in front of the door. Until about 21.00 hrs the bus stops every 15 minutes. The bus shedule is based on Greek times � ||||Two things that might bother you: the accommodation is situated next to a busy road. Due to the hot nights, we closed the windows and used airco (€ 50,- per week). With the windows closed you hardly hear the road. You might hear the airco a little though �. The second thing is the airplanes which are flying over. In high season you can count quite a lot.

Read morePetros Village is owned and run by a lovely family. Brothers George and Michael, along with their wives and mother go out of their way to make sure your stay here is a pleasant one. ||The accommodation is clean and comfortable, definitely worth having the aircon. ||||The pool is lovely with plenty of sun beds, there is also table tennis and a pool table if you don't want to lounge around all day!||||Mum Maria does most of the cooking and her Greek Salad is the best we tasted. The rest of the menu is good and the prices very reasonable. If you have any special requests, they will try to help.||||The beach is worth the 15 minute walk with plenty of places to choose where you hire your sunbeds, all around 6 euros for 2 plus a parasol.||||This is also the area you will find most of the restaurants, we ate at several and didn't have a bad meal. They all have their own unique way of doing things but the common theme was the excellent service and keenness to make your experience as good as it could be. Bowls of complimentary fruit and free Raki after every meal leaves you with a full belly and a smile on your face! This was also the case when we ate at Petros Village, the Cretans really want to make you happy.||||I would say a stay here gives you a sense of the real Greece and for a short while you feel part of a Greek family and it...
