This place is pure magic. I'll begin by saying the pictures do not tell a complete story...there's so much more beauty in it.
Here's some things you will probably be curious about.
The house: Attached within a private garden on the ground floor, there's 2 units (same owner) with a space that opens up to an uninterrupted ocean view. It comes furnished with deck chairs and a cozy table that we took our breakfast daily overlooking the ocean. We took 1 unit, very comfortable for 2 person, comes with a large king sized bed (you hardly find this size in Europe not even in hotels). A well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with good water pressure (hot/cold) - I'm a sucker for a good shower as I hate trickling water, which thankfully this was not. If you are traveling in 4's, would suggest you take the next unit too and you will feel like you are in your own private villa (like those that you find in Bali or Phuket).
There's modernity and newness to this unit (I was so afraid i was going to step into a 70's beach house, thankfully it's all modern and new, yay!)
The surrounding: The ocean view is amazing, you get the most magical sun rising from the ocean edge. Just a slight walk out of the house, you will see a wooden plank that you can descend for a swim in the ocean (it feels like your own private cove/area). I loved it, as it was away from the crowd, giving you the privacy & tranquility. The water is calm, clean and clear and you can even snorkel to see the fishes - I did this everyday.
As for food/entertainment, there are restaurants just a stone throw away. And if you want something slightly fancier, there's a small town about 30mins walk away, we strolled in the evening a few times to this town to get ourselves entertained with food, drinks and some shopping. We had our dinner twice at Beachcomber (Google it and you will get the chill out vibe).
Getting around: Well we rented a car as we wanted to explore other areas of Crete, but seriously if all you are looking for is to rest and relax and not be bothered with a car, you can (like I mentioned it's not far to town by walking). Download the app that Anestis will ask you to locate his home, as google maps is not that accurate.
To sum it all, things that I love: The location, the ocean view, the privacy, away from the maddening tourist crowd and yet close enough to walk to a town to have some entertainment. And how modern and new the home is.
This place feels like a little secret - all wrapped up in magic.
