After enduring sweltering heat, it was very pleasant to be in the mountains at Michalis's place. No need for air conditioning here even in August. It was a great place as a base for Elafonisi, even if the narrow mountain roads were a little harrowing for me. When my husband's back went out, Michalis drove me to the pharmacy and helped get us something. Elos has a great bakery for breakfast and several tavernas with traditional Cretan food.
