We were welcomed by Mijalis's lovely parents. They were very forthcoming with information about Crete. Throughout our stay, Mijalis responded to emails very promptly and would even do some further research and respond with useful links. What's more, the book shelf has some locally written books on Crete (some also written by Mijalis's father). The best book was the one on beaches. Every possible beach was listed there with beautiful photographs.

The location is perfect. It's far enough from the hustle bustle of Bali to be quiet and relaxing, but close enough so that we could always drive down to restaurants or beaches. We would recommend the fourth beach in Bali for snorkeling! The highlights of the house were the outdoor grill and the table outside. The outdoor grill was built by Mijalis's father himself. Enjoy a relaxing evening grilling local sausages or fish (if you can get up early enough and meet the boats in Bali) and fresh vegetables with bottles of local wine.
