We couldn't have had a better stay! The apartment is beautiful and spotless, and the views are gorgeous. We received fresh oranges from their tree and wild asparagus and pomegranates from one of our walks. The family and neighbors were so hospitable; we felt at home there. There were two groceries and several cafés/restaurants within walking distance, plus more along the sea. The traditional Cretan food is incredible - I pine for it now that I'm home. The recipes are fresh ingredients and love. :) A rental car is a must if you plan to get around Crete. Reserve early to get an automatic vs. manual. Manuals are fun, but, in my opinion, an automatic is the way to go on these curvy, mountainous roads! We put 1,000 km on the car in one week, and there was still more to see. We loved every single minute of our visit. Thank you, Sotiria, family & friends!
