Nikos is the perfect host. Despite flight delays he provided a link to a meeting point, took us to the villa and showed us around. He found a supermarket for us to stock up and even asked us if we would like some hot food to take home. He checks in and will recommend places to visit. Nothing is too much trouble for him.
The villa has everything provided for your stay. Condiments etc are left by previous guests and Nikos provides welcoming touches like local wine and beer in the fridge.
Everything is clean and the villa is beautifully decorated. Stylish,spacious and a restful base for relaxing or exploring. A car is essential If you want to reach some of the most beautiful beaches. Equally, we would have been happy to spend the days swimming in the large and beautifully maintained pool.
If you visit Knossos we would highly recommend spending the money for a tour. There is an elderly gentleman who shares what the books don’t and is passionate about the Cretan culture.
