Our visit to Crete was wonderful. Elena's place is just minutes away from the port. You are walking distance away from the major sites, cafe's and restaurants of Crete. To accommodate plans for staying in, there is a local grocery store just up the street.
Elena's had extra towels and blankets to make our stay more pleasant. The place was spotless and even had a washing machine for us to do laundry.
Elena's left us clear instructions for the duration of our stay and had brochures of Crete for us to browse through. If you like hot showers, plan to heat up the hot water tank for longer than the 10 minutes suggested.
We had a fantastic time in Crete!
