HI Oak66. Noted you had a great price. We holidayed in Stalis last year and loved it. Which apartments are you staying at?

Shirley h,

It's the Latania that we've booked for, read some reviews & it sounds like a decent place, if i'm honest though it could be a tent in a field for all i care i just want to get back to Greece! :D
We had originally looked at Koutouloufari but the apts we'd been looking at weren't coming up & we didn't want to risk leaving booking in case the prices start going up again. I remember reading somewhere that its about an hours walk to Koutouloufari so we're planning to do that one of the days as we love the looks of the place.

edit: Just priced up our holiday again on Thomson's website & the price has gone up by nearly £200 in 24 hours so i'm glad we did book it yesterday!

We went to Petra Mare last year - transfer took about one and half hours, it was night time when we arrived and left so may be different during day time. Lovely hotel but be prepared to get up early to get sunbeds.

Can recommend paying for sea view as the view was probably the best we have ever had - so relaxing sitting out on the balcony staring into the distance. :)

The flight lands about 9 at night so we would get there about midnight, its just not what you need after the flight is it and we will have a 3 year old with us. Is the hotel the last drop and thats why it takes 3hrs?

When we went there wasn't any other drop off's just straight transfer to Petra Mare, suppose we were lucky really. Same on return transfer.

Think there would have to be a lot of drop off's for the transfer to take 3 hours. Coaches are air conditioned if thats any help.

Thanks for the info, might just book it and hope it goes straight there with no pick ups :tup

Looking to book the Petra Mare asap, we can get flights on differant dates with a early morning flights which should by my reckoning get us to the hotel at around sixish, plenty of the night time left :cheers

Staying at the Andreas Apts, Gouves for 2 weeks June '10. Never been to Crete before but we're really looking forward to it and Gouves seems like the ideal place for a peaceful holiday.

We went to the Petra Mare last year and transfer was about an hour and half this was arriving in Heraklion at 12 midday
We have booked and are returning there this October landing around 11pm so will be interested to see how long this transfer takes :que
