We stayed here mainly to explore the Elafonissi and Kedrodasos beaches, and it was a fine basecamp for this purpose. A bit of a long way with a 2 year old prone to motion sickness, but we managed it. A small village, which requires a lot of downhill and uphill car maneuvering. Before getting to this spot, driving down from north, we stopped at Topos&elia, a simply fantastic family run restaurant we returned to many times. For us Kedrodasos was the best beach: Less people, beautiful with its trees (shade), and deep waters. And driving there was as easy as Elafonissi (new road at the end). On the way back, we liked the Kosmos Fish Tarverna. We were not really able to enjoy the rooftop terrace due to wasps, but which is no fault of the hosts. It was interesting to walk the shallow paths of the village, and to be somewhere on this path to one of Crete’s most famous beaches. Lots of tarvernas and small shops to check out. Thanks Giorgios and Konstantina!
