A very good place to stay if you want to explore the western part of Crete, you can go to lots of gorges nearby, White mountains, botanical garden, beaches like Elafonissi, Balos, Seitan Limania and a lot more and several beautiful cities. The hosts are very hospitable. Their oranges are the best I've ever tried in my life. Take a chance if you are there. Having a car is a must (like everywhere on Crete unless you do a backpacking hiking trip). Recommended
