We had an amazing experience at George and Elli's place. Will definitely come back again. The house had an astonishing view of the bay and is on an excellent location. Everything is close and convenient -- the wonderful beaches around Agia Pelagia are all within 5-10 minute drive. Close to Knossos, Heraklion, shops. We went on a day trip to Santorini from Heraklion -- the port is less than 25 minutes away.
The house itself is on 3 floors, with the living area is in the middle. Top and bottom floors have 2 bedrooms each -- perfect for our larger group (2 families with 4 adults and 4 kids).
George and Elli were amazing hosts, super responsive and warm. They even brought us some amazing Greek breakfast and are extremely knowledgable about Cretan geography and history (too bad we couldn't make it for their hiking tour). Thanks so much!!!
PS. Did we say the views were amazing and absolutely stunning? :)
