We have heard, on this site and others, how good Mimi's is, and how helpful Spiros and Janelle are. Are you near where we will be staying, in a group of 6 villas in an olive grove, specifically Villa Areti? Also, is your pool open to everyone? I like a very early morning swim. Everything I've read about Mimi's makes me wish we were staying there...

This was the most beautiful beach I've ever been on! We only had two days here, having tried other beaches on the Vassilikos peninsula, and I wish we'd found Gerakas first. We wouldn't have been anywhere else. It is perfect and undeveloped. All there is is a portaloo, and you can't even see the carpark. The bay forms a huge semicircle, and has superb views out across Laganas bay (as close as I'd ever want to get) with misty mountains behind. We only came to the beach late in the day, about 5, and spent 2 or 3 hours each time. At this time, the people seem mostly Greek or Italian, few Brits. (Probably all in Laganas) There were several cages over turtle nest sites. I'd have loved to see the sunset here, also to see turtles hatching. The sea was very warm, with a sand bank a little way out, so safe for poor swimmers. There was a blue/grey mud pool at the far end, and it was quite a shock to see people walking along covered in it. I wanted to bring a chunk home, but thought better of it...
