Mpampis's place is in a fantastic location away from the crowds but close enough to restaurants, shops and a lovely little bakery for you to be more than comfortable. The beach is pretty much at your doorstep and it is a great stretch of beach too. Mpampis is very knowledgeable of the island and is always willing to help if you have any questions. The house is beautiful and even has a volleyball net out back. Whether you enjoy eating breakfast on the varandar with the sound of the waves or barbecuing in the sunshine whilst sipping on a mythos, this house has what you need. My advice would be to plan at least a day or two to just enjoy the house and location it is in rather than using it just as a base while you explore Crete.
