We loved our stay in Kolimbari und we had a very good time in Nikos house. His parents welcomed us very friendly. Thanks for the welcome present we found on the table! The house is very close to the sea and in walking-distance to Kolimbari, where you can find a lot of good restaurants and where you can rent a car. But you don’t need a car to survive: There are a little shops around the house and there is a bus (station: Rapaniana) if you want to get to chania or to the airport. The villa is one of the prettiest houses we’ve seen during our stay in crete. It’s an old house and yes, it’s somehow rustic, but the smell of an old building was no problem for us. A little tip: If you want to sleep with opened windows, buy a moskito candle ;). Thanks Nikos for your useful information sheet, your help and the great stay! Stephan & Steffen
