Mary's house is beautifully located on a hillside in a quiet village. At the same time, restaurants and shops are only a 10min drive away. The traditional house has a very good vibe and is nicely decorated. When we arrived we immediately felt at home. Moreover, the fridge was filled, very convenient when arriving after midnight, like us. And even more important: home made cookies were waiting for us ;) We stayed in the house for 10 nights and enjoyed ourselves relaxing in and around the house. Our 2 year old son also loved the place (and cookies). The garden which surrounds the house has a lot of corners and "secret" spaces too discover, there's even an outside shower.
A car in this part of Crete is a must. But famous places like Balos, Elafonissi and Falasarna are well reachable through roads in beautiful landscapes.
Highly recommended!
