Quiet, lovely view from balcony, 5 min walk to beach although it's a slight walk up hill going back to the apartment, not a problem if your reasonably fit. Nice very well equipped apartment, we had a nice balcony where we could sit in the shade. Reasturant serves great food should you decide to eat there, however there are plenty of other choices nearby in the Village. Panormo itself is a beautiful traditional small village, lovely people, a few shops and choice of three small beaches. Great choice for a real experience of Crete.
