I warmly recommend the house of Kleopatra and Kostas in Kerames! Our 3 nights stay in this nice and stylish house in Kerames was a highlight of our trip to Crete. We were warmly welcomed by Kostas, Kleopatra's husband. He explained what places to visit, where to eat and also told a lot about local traditions and rural life. The house is well equipped, fresh and nicely decorated. We were one family (3 adults and a child) and house was just perfect for us. Besides sofa and a single bed, There are two double beds but if you are two couples keep in mind that the rooms are not completely isolated from each other even though the second room is on the second floor. the outside terrace is great for star watching. Kerames is a nice small mountain village, where you can see how the locals live. There are very beautiful and tranquil beaches 15-20 min from the village. My favorite was Treopetra, especially the cozy beach on the other side of the Stones. Beaches near Plakias were also nice. Overall, the southern part of Crete is much more authentic and calm than Chania and Heraklion's areas packed with tourists! The memory about this traditional house with great view and very kind and attentive hosts will be one of the best memories from this trip!
