We decided to visit the North of Crete after several days of very stormy weather in Plakias and were very happy that Michael would accomodate us. The North of the Island is quite different from the South, but we fell in love with the charming village Gerani - especially the people and the bakery was really nice. Try the croissants if you can! We stayed at Michael's for only 2 Nights but found a perfect home for ourselves. The House consists of 2 Appartments - we stayed in the one downstairs. The appartment is clean, it has a big kitchen with everything in it. Michael was also kind enough to offer fresh fruit, wine and juice. A baby bed was put up for our daughter which she loved together with all the toys in the appartment. Michael is a great host and was always there if we had a question. There is a small beach that is just 900m down the hill. You can walk there, but with a stroller, I would recommend to take the car. We loved the big sandy beach 5km in the direction to Chania even more. Perfect for toddlers who love to play in the sand. Last but not least: this was a great stay that we really enjoyed. And you can Look at a very starry sky from the rooftop terrace! Yay to Michael!
