What an amazing trip! I discovered a little corner in this world that is still authentic. Its beauty is cherished and protected by wonderful people. Kindness, simplicity, pride and honesty are the 4 keywords I’ll choose to describe Cretans. Among the first we met are George’s brother (Tony) and his parents (sorry where I come from we do not ask for the parents first names).

I want to keep it simple and just let everyone know that my wife and I vouch for Astir Studios.

It’s super clean, simple and spacious. It is just a few minutes from a wonderful beach. Anything you need, we’d recommend you ask Tony first (renting a car for example). He might have a deal you won’t be able to refuse :)

We also tried the in-house breakfast. Tony’s mom, will adapt the breakfast to your liking (we do not eat pork) and she will give you a snapshot of Cretans traditional cuisine, which is just perfect. Oh! And all of this for 5€ per person :)

Anyway I guess you get the picture, if you ever need to spend a night in Crete, look for Astir Studios.
