We took the chance to book the place without reviews but fortunately we did not regret it. We really enjoyed the quiet, relaxing setting. We even swimmed although still in April since the weather was like summer.
The place was superclean and tidy. Like said on the description it is a basic 1 bedroom and one sitting area cottage but equipped with even the smallest item a complete household needs. We spent most of our time either on the verandas gazing the sea or on the beach.
There were very few people in the village this time of year so all beaches were reserved just for us. We felt like being on a private island!
The last 4 km of the road to the village was still dirt but it is currently being paved with asphalt.
We met the hosts on our way to the village. They were a lovely couple that welcomed us warmly and offered us homegrown produce, olive oil, raki and homemade pie that eventually reduced our need for supplies to the minimum.
The location is ideal to get away from it all, relax and feel closer to nature. It is an interesting alternative experience from the crowded, noisy, industrialized touristic destinations of northern Crete.
We’ll definitely come again.
