We had a wonderful two and a half week stay in Serenity View. The little mountain village of Kousés is the ideal place to stay if you want a peaceful nest from which to discover Crete‘s beautiful landscape and beaches. Within a radius of 15 km around Kousés you have everything from nice beaches, archeological sites, a legendary hippie village (Matalla), a large local farmers market (Mires) to the nursery of Zeus on mount Ida. You can go hiking, shop for healing herbs, teas and spices in the Botano shop in Kousés itself, go swimming or sunbathing on Comos beach or just hang out on the terrace of the Serenity View appartment infront of the magnificent landscape of the Psiloritis mountain range.
Manos is a very helpful host and will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable.
