VILLA MERTIZA in Mirtos
For the next trip, we decided to concentrate a bit more on the southeast of Crete, where it is the most quiet and where you are regularly bump into an empty beach, and yet with a number of pleasant coastal villages such as his Mirtos , Makrigialios and Analipsi. One of the places that we thought was a surprise in the southeast was Mirtos and our attention has been drawn to Villa Mertiza. It is a complex with 22 large apartments and studios and is run by people from Holland. In the photos it looks all very cared for, and I have mailed a bit with the person who runs this place and he (Dick) immediately mailed back and very proudly wrote that in the whole surrounding they were famous for their special breakfasts. A place we want to try on the next visit.
