If you are looking for a place in Crete then this is it. Wonderful stone house overlooking the village of Loutraki and towards Heraklion and the sea. The house is outstanding and an exceptional place to enjoy the long Greek summers. The hospitality from Yannis was probably the best we have experienced in all of our time using Air BnB. He even provided us a special tour one day as we meet a winemaker and the opportunity to take a private tour. The attention to detail was outstanding. If you didn’t bring a thing to the house you would be in luck because it has everything except your clothes. From fully stocked toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and all the extras in the kitchen including fresh Cretan honey, homemade raki, fresh baked goods, milk , red wine, and coffee /tea. We had the absolute works for the month we had booked! Everything is thought out in advance! This is a very special place that we will always hold so close to our heart. The gorgeous house itself is located in a small village which adds to the charm. The local tavern provides excellent food at a great price and the locals are extremely friendly and definitely embrace Greek hospitality. Go see Christina down the road! She makes a beautiful meze and a mean souvlaki! The AirBnB is only 15 min drive from Heraklion and is close to supermarkets and the beach. Don’t even think about it! Book it! It’s 6 a six star hotel service without having to share it with tourists! And Loutraki is definitely the safest place on earth. We would sleep at night with all the windows open and not even think about it! I think you got the point!
