For visiting the north side of eastern Crete, this little house in the village of Chamazi near Sitia is highly recommended. The view from the 2nd floor terrace with the two bedrooms is splendid, we sat around the table enjoying wine and food from the region on several evenings. The house is very comfortable, with mementos of several generations of the owner Mrs. Popi, who greeted us on arrival and has been very friendly and helpful to us... especially on our interesting arrival day when the village has been gathered at the taberna for discussions about upcoming elections. She organized local "mezze" (I think, similar to Spanish tapas) for us from the taberna owners John and his wife, very enjoyable. And of course a lot of Cretan raki, of her own distillation and at the taberna. It has helped that my son could practice with the Greek phrases he studied before and during the trip, and even attended mass at the orthodox church on Sunday. Georgia was very helpful, communicating about our arrival and tips for the region. We regretted leaving, and hope to return for a longer stay. As a tip, Chamazi is a small village... markets and service stations are just a few km down the road, through the village towards Sitia.
