Excellent accommodation with a swimming pool. Vivi provides a big breakfast every morning and when you eat in her restaurant in the evening the food just keeps coming. If you want to eat lunch out make sure you tell Vivi to make a small breakfast!
If you have hired a car you can get a good map in the petrol stations. We found a really good road yellow down to Mires (not all the yellow roads are easy). From there you can get to Matala and Agia Galini where you have shops, tavernas and night life. There is also a Lidl near by. Phaistos and Gortyn are archaeological sites close by and they are worth a visit. Matala has a sandy beach but it is very busy - it's much quieter on Kommos beach which is not far away. There is a big market in Mires (also spelt Moires) on Saturday which is worth visiting. We also recommend a visit to Vivi's cousin's farm - ask Vivi she will arrange it for you. It was very hot when we were there in September and the pool was a lovely way to cool down. We also really liked the lake just outside Zaros - there is a nice bar where you can sit in the shade over looking the lake and watch the trout and turtles. If you want to know anything Vivi will help you.
