The property was clean & spacious with nice views. It's within easy walking distance of Kateros village, which in season would have a few restaurants and shops and a bakery. Only one seafront restaurant and 1 taverna on the main road was open in early April. It's easy access to the motorway great for sightseeing if you hire a car, if you intend to stay put in the village I wouldn't come out of season. There are a few things that weren't clear in the listing that potential renters would want to know. The property is split into 2 holiday lets, on middle & top floor. There is also a separate let below which seems to be someones permanent residence. I thought I'd booked a villa (whole property) not 1 floor, due to the time of year we booked (early April) it didn’t matter to us, but peak season could affect others. The sun rises on the side of the house, so there is no sun on the terrace. The property is open plan, plenty of space , there are 2 large tables seating 6 each and a 3 seater & 2 seater sofa, so even thought it's advertised as up to 6 there's only sofa seating for 5. There's a large shower room with loo, sink & washing machine and a separate wc with no ventilation, so often quite smelly. One big issue for couples sharing is 1 of the 4 bedrooms is accessed through another bedroom which makes it unusable if not being used by your own young children. This wasn't made clear in the listing.

We actually stayed at Villa Pasiphae for three months when we moved to Crete this spring. The house is spacious and well equipped, even for a stay as long as ours. We spent many hours on the roof terrace, relaxing and enjoying the view. There’s almost always a good breeze, which makes it a very pleasant place to while away a few hours with a bottle of wonderful Cretan wine. There is an off street parking space (which took a bit of practice to master maneuvering), and a securely fenced garden (much appreciated by my dogs!). Close to the beaches and tavernas in Karteros, and just a few minutes drive into Kokkini Hani, there’s always lots to do. Only 15 minutes into Heraklion center, and 5 minutes from the airport... you can watch the planes landing from the roof. Very convenient location. The host, Chris, was fabulous. Always on hand to help with any questions, and to make sure we were happy in the villa. Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone staying in this area. Only negative I can give is that there is only air conditioning in the living room and one bedroom, the other bedrooms get quite warm.
