The four of us had a pleasant week at Dion. The place was just big enough for us (a couple with two teenagers), and an excellent starting point for us to explore both northeast and southeast coastlines, which indeed seem to be protected from mass tourism. The large two-level roof terrace provides amazing views of the countryside, but is unavoidably also exposed to the potentially strong winds. Kitchen, bathrooms, and other areas are well equipped: whatever you need, you will likely find it supplied in one of the cupboards or closets (the downside being the rather cluttered closets). The olive oil, honey, peaches, bread, and cheese were a nice welcome gift, especially as we arrived hungry. The locals were most welcoming, too, always willing to use whatever English they could manage to communicate with us (we even got treated to the village's fair). As suggested by the description, the place is somewhat secluded: be ready to drive 20 minutes for the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, or gas station. Also, and as in most Cretan villages, expect very narrow streets, challenging parking, and a steep climb from the street to your front door. We did not mind any of this ourselves—on the contrary, we enjoyed the rural character. More disappointing was the lack of air conditioning, although AC was mentioned explicitly in the description. The nights were cool enough and we were mostly away during the day, so it was not a major issue, but still, we felt misled on that point. For the rest, Pantelis was a most professional host, always quick to provide to-the-point answers to our questions.
