We loved this place! Fotini is a gracious host who generously shared her knowledge about Crete and its culture as well as the eggs from her chickens. She gave us many good tips about places to go and getting to know her was a highlight of our stay. Her home is large and beautiful, with a deck off every bedroom and surrounded by olive and pomegranate trees as well as many beautiful flowers. We appreciated that she had a water filter so we did not have to buy water. The view is spectacular. If you want to relax and soak up local culture as well as seeing all the sights, this is the place to be. You will need a car. The road from the village is short but steep, and part of the local color (watch for the sheep grazing by the side of the road). Spend the day driving around and visiting the sights, and come back in the evening to relax with wine and cheese while watching the sun set over the hills.
