My family and I stayed for over 2 months. Eleni was a wonderful host. She checked on us regularly to make sure we had what we needed. The flat is settled in a beautiful and peaceful location. We would walk through the olive groves exploring with the kids and take hikes up the street from the house to the top of the mountain. My favorite view in all of Crete is a short hike up the mountain. The view overlooked Falasarna beach. We would watch the sun set from the top of it. We were just a few minutes from the start of the road leading up to balos beach which is on the west coast that leads to elafonissi beach. The drive to Elafonissi Beach was about a 1 hour 15 minutes drive up a mountain depending on how fast you felt like driving the mountainous road.
The view from the balcony of the flat is beautiful and the home has everything you will need for a long stay. Kissamos was about a 15 minute drive away. You can get groceries and supplies there. Chania is about an hour away. This is the perfect home to relax and enjoy a small quit village in the olive groves with views of mountains and sea. We would love to stay there again.
