The house is simply amazing ! If you were impressed by the pictures posted online, just wait ! Wait until you see it in reality – it is exceeding all expectations. Located within a beautiful olive orchard, with magnificent views of the gorgeous Cretan landscape to the North, East and West sides. On the South side, just across the street, you’ll find Kampos Taverna, a real authentic Greek taverna where you can have very good food and local wine at totally reasonable prices. I was impressed by their traditional moussaka…the best moussaka I’ve ever had in my life. The service was also amazing …special thanks to Poppy and to the owner – I believe his name is Andreas. Irini and her parents are the perfect hosts, they helped us with everything we needed. Irini helped us to plan our daily trips, her parents brought us fruits, vegetables, olive oil, house wine, everything from their own farm. Also, they kept the house and the swimming pool impeccably clean for the whole duration of our stay there. We were a group of seven people and we rented two cars from Best Cars Rental, we’ve got a discount voucher thanks to Irini’s relationship with this company. During our seven day stay in Achlades, we managed to visit the following must see touristic attractions: Balos Beach, Chania, Palm Praveli Beach, The Place of Knossos and Heraklion Archeological Museum in Heraklion, Rethymnon and its beautiful beaches and promenade by the sea. We have also bought a boat trip to the pirates caves from Rethymno and we drove to Klados Winery for wine tasting. One of the best vacations we’ve ever had…and we’ll definitely go back there !!!
