If you’re not a resort craving person, stay here! The town of Douliana is a perfect place to relax and enjoy Crete. It was a little difficult finding Filippos house but the host was very responsive. Make sure you download an offline map of Crete before you arrive. I had to because I am not from Europe and couldn’t use my cell service. Once we found the place...wow. Filippos house is gorgeous and very homey. There was wine, water, bread, coffee and a beautiful view from the top balcony. There’s literally everything you need, I don’t need to list it all. One thing, if you’re from another country make sure you bring an international power adapter to charge your phone. The local residents are very helpful and the home itself had everything we needed. Can’t wait to go back.
