we have had a great time at the amazing villa Litinas. the house is brand new, tastefully furnished and fully equipped with everything you can think of, at the best quality. the pool is huge and the outdoor furniture is comfy and chic. the host left us groceries to start our vacay with, box games and some food and drinks. the area is beautiful and rural, full of huge old olive trees, sheep wondering around and stunning mediterrenian views. it is on top of a hill so it was not boiling hot. the surrounding villages are charming, close to arkadi monastery which is a top notch site of crete. 1 hour scenic drive away we found some amazing beaches with crystal turquoise waters but there are closer nice beaches as well. the host was lovely to meet and chat with and kostas and eleni from the agency were very helpful and kind. waiting to go back there with more friends and family. thank you.
