We loved our stay in Archanes, Greece. This small little town is very quaint and has tons of authentic character. Not very many people in town spoke English, which we didn’t mind. You can walk to cafes, restaurants, shops and bakery’s from the house. Some of the streets in town were a tight squeeze for cars, but manageable. Thomais was an excellent host to us. She greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property, answering any questions we had and gave recommendations to her local favorite spots. This was our favorite stay in Crete. Would love to go back and spend more time in the countryside!
