WELCOME TO CRETE We would like to point out that the way of life in Crete is very different to back in the U.K and other parts of Europe. WATER We advise that you avoid drinking tap water here as it contains a high mineral content, and suggest that you drink bottled water, which is readily available from many supermarkets and bars in resort. BATHROOM Many showers here do not have shower curtains and the floor does get very wet. Most of the showers are hand held. Please avoid putting the towels on the floor to stand on. The toilet system is a bit primitive. Toilet paper must be put in the bin provided in the bathroom, putting paper in the system will certainly block it as the pipes are very narrow. MAID SERVICE Self-catering apartments are usually cleaned 3 times a week, once on arrival and twice during the remainder of the week. Sheets are changed once a week and towels twice. In hotels, cleaning is usually daily with sheets and towels changed 2 or 3 times during the week. ELECTRICITY The voltage here is 220V - you can use all electrical appliances with a 2 pin plug. HOT WATER Water is usually solar heated which means it may not be hot in the morning, but should be more than adequate by early evening. SELF CATERING Our studios and apartments are equipped with a minimum of a sink, fridge, two cooking rings and basic kitchen utensils. The facilities are for making simple meals but don't expect to be able to produce a 5 course meal.
