Spili is a hidden jewel of a community. If you are there in the summer, it is alive and busy with beautiful views and lively atmosphere. If you are there in the winter, as we were, you get to see the quiet side, filled with down-to-earth locals who are fun and interesting. Panagis, our host was very accomodating and we enjoyed getting to know him and this wonderful small Cretian community. We highly recommend this place and this apartment, right above the lion fountains.
