We spent a fabulous holiday with Tony´s help in difficult coronavirus times. In difficult times for both hosts and tourists. That's why we were very happy that we managed to travel to Crete and, moreover, we really enjoyed a couple of magnificent weeks in Tony´s very cozy penthouse. Tony is really superhost - very friendly, communicative and helpful. And the penthouse was absolutely perfect for us, as we found there peace and quiet we needed. The penthouse itself is not sprawling but fully compliant, and the terrace is large and luxurious. You can spend a lovely morning there with a cup of coffee or a pleasant evening with a glass of good Greek wine. And when we were lazy to go anywhere, it was lovely to spend the whole day on the terrace, whether with a book in the shade or sunbathing on a sun lounger. However, there are plenty of places nearby that are worth visiting. If I had to recommend each of them, it would be endless. I will mention one thing - the Archeological Museum, which really can not be missed. Every visitor to Crete should get acquainted with the stunning Minoan culture, and in the museum you will find a huge number of wonderful artifacts, and then go to see Knosos, it is about half an hour by bus. (By the way, in Crete it is very convenient to travel by bus.)
In conclusion: I recommend Tony's penthouse to anyone looking for peace and quiet while wanting to have shops, cafes and restaurants nearby and a beach not far away. And I recommend Tony as host to everybody, he's extraordinarily accommodating.
