Gorgeous spot to stay in Vryses. Very pretty home, made private with 20' tall old growth scrubs which had beautiful white flowers during our stay. The yard is well maintained and grassy and includes a fresh herb garden. We especially enjoyed using the outdoor shower to rinse off the sand from our long days at the beach. The home itself is naturally cooled with thick stone walls but the home also had two table fans to help air circulation. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen has all the basics that you could need to prepare your own meals for a day or a week. To start things off, on the kitchen counter we found that we were being greeted with a bowl of tomatoes, orange marmalade, and cretan olive oil. Although we do not partake, there was also a bottle of wine and traditional raki. The town is host to an excellent bakery, many cute taverns and cafes and two wonderful restaurants serving authentic cretan foods while bordering the river that cuts through town. All and all, we had a great time staying here. We assure you that you will, too.
