Katerina and her family is what turns Haridimos from a nice place into a GREAT place. As has been said in previous comments, there is nothing she will not do to make your stay as enjoyable as she can. She even offers pick-ups and drop-offs to the airport in her own car so you do not need to take the bus or wait in the queues at the terminal, a huge plus.
The food her and her mother cook at the small restaurant is extremely good value and the beer and wine is cheap too, especially when she nearly seems to give you some on the house. The best night out here is a Thursday.
Thursday is GREEK NIGHT! and what a night it is. For 20 euros you get as much food and wine as you can put away, and just when you think you need to lie down and sleep it off the infectious Greek dancing starts and you find you are dancing to Zorba in a line with everybody else as it snakes around the pool.
Katerina...thank you for a great time.

Room tip: Get an upstairs room for a great view of the sea.

Although myself and my daughter did not stay at Haridimos Apartments, Katerina and her family made us so welcome. We ate her food and we swam in the pool and we met some lovely
people there. So much so we intend to book in to stay there next year for sure. The weather was great and from where we were staying in Tavronitis it was a very pleasant walk down to the Apartments. We went to the quiz nights and the Cretan night which was a night to remember as we had so much fun. Can't wait to go back and sample Katerinas hospitality first hand.

Third year running at these apartments. They are basic but clean with stunning views. A 10 minute rural walk to the village where you will find a good supermarket and fresh bread shop plus a good bus service. Katerina is a fantastic host and great cook with so many choices of fresh cooked Cretan food at amazing prices. Nothing is too much trouble. An unforgettable Greek night is had by all, if you dare!!!!. You couldn't ask for a better host than Katerina, her lovely mother and not forgetting Harry "the hubby". This year we met her gorgeous twin grandaughters. Met some lovely people. Most people get about by hiring a scooter or car to get around the island or just relax by the pool. The sea once you have got over the stones is so clear and warm, just take beach shoes. Can't wait to book again. Marie and Dave, Manchester.

Room tip: First floor better views. Ground floor handy for the pool. All rooms over look the pool and sea.

After a very busy time at home this year we needed a complete and restful break and on the strength of the tripadvisor reviews we booked the Haridimos in Crete.

After a very easy journey via Ryanair and Resorthoppa, a local transfer company we were greeted warmly by Katerina the owner of the complex. I totally endorse what many other reviewers have said about Katerina. She is an amazing person, always cheerful, funny, caring, hard working and the most amazing hostess. She works long hours running the whole set up but never allows any tiredness to affect her wonderful warm manner towards her guests.

Our apartment was huge. We certainly struck lucky as there were only two of us and we were given an apartment for four people with a small kitchen area, bathroom (with bath and shower) , bedroom with twin beds and a double bedded room with a balcony. Our balcony, as with all of them overlooked the pool and small taverna. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows substantial.

The pool area was lovely with a shallow, small children's area and very clean. It was surrounded by decent sunbeds and umbrellas, plenty for everyone. We spent most of our time here doing absolutely nothing - lovely. There is no nearby beach although the sea is very close, we had one swim there. The water was clear and clean and good for swimming. There was a beach of sorts about 10-15 minutes away with sunbeds and a taverna.

We only walked out to a taverna once as the food at Haridimos was extremely good with several choices each night. As we have been to Greece lots of times we have our favourite dishes and we only had to mention them to Katerina and she cooked them for us. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there. I have to mention the dips that accompanied the bread basket each evening. We had a pot of tapenade and a pot of Aubergine dip which was made by Katerina's mother and was really delicious.

There is a quiz night each Monday which we found great fun and numbers permitting a Greek night on Thursdays. When the taverna is full Katerina stays open until the last guest wants to leave and it can be a little noisy as the raki flows, however it was only once while we were there and we found it no problem as we had nothing to get up early for and I found it quite nice listening to people enjoying themselves.

We did one trip out, we booked a little shuttle train a bit like the ones you see at seaside resorts in England. It took us up in to the hills, we visited a monastery which had amazing views over of the island and they took us to the olive oil processing plant and explained the processes. We then were invited to taste the different oils and had an opportunity with absolutely no pressure to buy oils and balsamic vinegar. We also were taken to a charming little mountain village where we could explore and buy a coffee.

All in all it was a wonderful, restful, peaceful break. We met some nice people and there was always someone to chat to if you you wanted but plenty of space if you wanted to keep to yourself.

An ideal place for a recharging the batteries type of holiday. If you want to get out and about it is best hire a car.

A big thank you to Katerina and her mother for ensuring that we had a lovely time.
