Directions to the apartments:

When on the highway you should look for signs to Kalami and Kalives (please advise the "area map").
If you are coming from Chania it's a left turn, while from Rethimno it's a right turn.
After you turn you will be in a smaller road which leads directly to Kalives town and the main "square", where you will see a big church (Agia Paraskevi church).
Turn right, so that the church is on your left and go straight on until you reach the next right turn (you will see a platan tree in the middle of the street).
Then turn right and right once more (there is a sign with Erodios apartments logo).
Lastly a "short" left turn and you will see the apartments.
It is a circle you have to make in order to reach the apartments by car.
There is a footpath which leads to Kalives centre directly.
If you are having any trouble with finding us, you can call us at 00302825083131.

Useful advice regarding driving in Crete.

If you have chosen to hire a car to drive to the apartments or if you hire a car during your stay, you should be more careful than you normally are, especially if it's your first time driving in Crete. Road manners in Crete can be quite different compared to those you are used to.

Overtaking on solid, double white lines is illegal, but it is very common in Crete, so you should be very careful when driving on blind bends or on the brow of a hill, because someone from the opposite direction may be heading your way. Cretan's usually don't follow the speed limits, so don't be surprised if you are going with the speed limit and other cars overpass or try to overpass you all the time. It is better if you move aside.
