Great location for relaxed chill out with family. Awesome to reach Almeryda beach within 15 minutes by car ( car recommanded here ), and Kefalas is a nice little village to skip all the touristic fuzz but still having all you need for daily requirements within walking distance. Unfortunately our timing was a little weird and we did not have a chance to meet the host, but his wife gave us a peasent welcome and the house is simply amazing.
Closeby is the city of Vamos - with a really original restaurant that for me was the best I visited in Crete. Do not miss that if you don't have to. But even the local restaurant in Kefalas serms to be really good. Long story short - this is a really nice place to stay - can't get that much better in mid price range. It is a guarantee for being totally happy with your accomodation.
