“Aptera Beach cultivates a refreshingly low-key atmosphere right on Amoudara beach. It's the sort of place where the focus is on genuine Cretan hospitality, and the sea is always within sight. I think the hotel's spacious rooms and beachfront dining provide a solid base for a relaxing, unpretentious holiday.”
