During the season, an even wider ranging supply of tourism goods and services can be found in the neighbouring village of ▶ Adelianos Campos.
The Silvi Mari Apartments are located by a side-lane in peaceful, almost rural surroundings, just 50 meters from the sandy beach.
There is an hourly public bus service to ▶ Heraklion (80 kms) and ▶ Chania (64 kms), as well as to Rethymnon (during the season every 30 minutes). The bus stop is 200 meters from the house.
Heraklion airport is 85 kms away, Chania aiport 69 kms. With respect to the winding character of the motor highway, transfer times from and to the airports must not be underestimated.
