Simply put, this place is absolutely impeccable. If what you want it a unique, authentic, and relaxing stay in Crete, you absolutely can't beat Nathalie's place in Tertsa. My husband and I spent 1 week in her lovely studio and had a perfect visit. Communication and check-in were great, and the studio is well appointed and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'd need for a longer stay. Nathalie runs yoga classes four mornings a week in a stunning yoga on the mountain above, and I highly recommend making her sessions a morning habit. :)
Tertsa itself is the traveler's holy grail - just enough amenities without being over-run by tourists. There are 3 tavernas, with Lambros being our favorite- great food, super kind owners, and no fuss. The beach is great and uncrowded.
Overall, a wonderful find and a truly special place. Thanks again Nathalie and Andres!!!
