What a beautiful place!! If you think the pictures are too good to be true, think again! It looks exactly like this, and exudes so much peace and zen - it is just a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The house itself is cosy and comfortable, clearly not just a vacation rental but a family home. Everything you need is there and works well. But the location and the outside is the real winner. There were days when we did not even leave, just hung out by the pool, on the roof, in the garden, reading books from the nice selection of English, French and German books in the house, and then watching the sun disappear into the ocean. Set rather isolated in the mountains, it is absolutely quiet, day and night. You will just hear the cicadas and the sheep :). However, it's only a quick drive to a couple of tavernas, markets, and about 10 min to the beach.
We drove around the island a bit but discovered that we love this area, and the beach right below the house best - Falassarna Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on Crete. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house Margit - our family had an amazing time & we will hopefully be back soon!
