Ioannis's contact person, Artemis, was very friendly and responsive (we didn't meet Ioannis). Our meeting was smooth and we felt very welcome. The home, part of a group of homes sharing a swimming pool, is located in a remote area outside of the bustling and lively village of Archanes, which is definitely a draw if you want to be away from it all (while close enough to Herakleion to drive down for the day). We drove through the village and followed the dirt country road to reach the home, which is within nature and beautifully tended gardens. The home itself is small and cozy, just right for our weekend stay (we were travelling together with two kids), and the staff made us feel very comfortable. The swimming pool was enjoyed by all, it is a beautiful setting in the mountains.
