If you are the kind of traveler that likes to be far away from tourists, do yourself a favor and stay at Panayiotis and Roula’s house, you will not regret it.
We were greeted by this awesome, lovey and smiling couple, you’ll experience Cretan hospitality first hand, it is an incredible and humble experience
The house is just lovely, cozy, comfortable, incredible clean, you will be surprised at how well equipped it is. One of the things that we loved was the attention to details, the decoration, the arrangement of things. Once you meet Panayiotis and Roula you will understand that this house is just and extension of them, of their personality. This place is charming with a very peaceful atmosphere.
They were pending of us, our needs and always gave us good tips where to go and how to get to those places, they also have suggested itineraries printed and on the bookshelf one can find books with lots of information about Crete. By the way, they live nearby, just a few meters away, so communication was not a problem at all.
The house location was perfect; we were able to reach different destinations easily.
Around Meleses everything is 6 km away or 200 meters straight (ok, that is an inside joke, don’t take that part serious) :) I know Panayiotis will have a laugh. There are fresh vegetable markets, mini markets, bakeries and taverns around the area.
So, go on and stay here. Our recommendation is that on the evenings after exploring and wandering Crete, come back here and get a bottle of Raki, sit outside on one of the terraces and ask this lovely couple to join you and have a good time laughing and talking about music, culture or politics you will definitely enjoy it.
We loved this place, and we are looking forward to come back soon!
Panayiotis and Roula, thank you so much for your companion and making of our time in Meleses an unforgettable experience!
