Notes
:
Milatos Beach is a quiet and laid-back kind of place which retains much of 'Old Cretan' charm. The locals are ultra-friendly and generous to a fault.
Apartment Marilena is only a 3-minute stroll to the nearest 'supermarket' and 10 metres further to a selection of 4 excellent tavernas. A further 6-or-so tavernas are to be found either east or west of the small square with its lovely little church. At the seafront (3-4 minutes) go left to the small working harbour or right for a 'long stroll' to open countryside.
