Paradise found. If you love clean clear warm blue water and gorgeous hikes you will love this region. Zakros is and authentic Crete town, not touristy, Nikos and his wife are extremely wam and friendly. His wife left us fruit, cake and cookies to our delightful surprise each day. We already plan on returning. We loved it so much we wanted to stay forever. YOu do need a car to get around. And there are stairs form the bedroom to the bathroom in case you have mobility issues. This is unspoiled Crete. It doesn't get any better
