This property reminded me of an Adirondack Mountain “Great Camp” from a Gilded Age in northern New York; architecturally it’s very similar with its stone walls, hard wood and red tile floors, dark wooden doors and ceiling beams, and with its wrap-around, dark wooden porch looking out at the scenic valley and mountains of rural western Crete. Nestled into a village that time forgot, it’s very safe and in a quiet neighborhood (aside from the periodic barking dogs from nearby residences). With essentially three floors of living space, there is plenty of room for a family to spread out. While too hot to sleep in the top floor bedrooms while we visited in July, there is an air conditioner on the second floor with three single beds. Nicely down modern bedrooms. Nikos, whose family owns this house, was very helpful. He met us in Kissamos at a pre-arranged location and time, then escorted us up the mountain for 15 minutes to show us in and get us acclimated.
