We loved staying at George’s place. Located near the beach, we used the shortcut to get there and although it’s a bit steep uphill, it’s overall not longer than 10 minutes and very accessible.
The villa isn’t too far from bus stops that can take you around, however to do a number of things to make the most of your stay in Crete, a car is a bit more ideal. For us, this wasn’t an issue as we enjoyed breakfast outside and then relaxed at the beach for our remaining stay. As we had done a lot of walking in Athens, our time spent here was mostly relaxing.
There were only four of us, but there’s space to accommodate more. It’s apparent that it’s not just a house, but a home and is an ideal place for families. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful view outside, it was lovely to wake up to that every morning. The villa is secluded enough to enjoy privacy and there aren’t noise disruptions.
We appreciated that George picked us up and took us to the airport himself, which was much easier than having to queue for a taxi, as we did in Athens. When we arrived he had prepared for guests, with water and snacks, which we greatly appreciated after our late flight. George provided us with brochures and recommended places to visit nearby, and overall was a great host. He was easy to contact and overall accessible.
We would love to stay here again, ideally with a car this time, but we enjoyed our relaxing holiday at the villa.
