Absolutely loved this place! We had a fantastic time, very relaxed. We spent our holiday there in October, the weather was lovely. Enjoyed drinking morning coffee on the patio, overlooking olive trees and the sea in the distance. It only takes 5-10 min by car to the nearest beach. However, the location of the house is great for visiting the best beaches on Crete ( Elafonisi, Balos lagoon or Falasarna). Just outside of the village is a supermarket and a bakery with lovely breads,apple pies, pan au chocolates, etc. I would highly recommend this house.
