Silvana and Michael's home is simply perfect: it’s in an excellent and quiet position to relax, but also 5-minute drive close to Ierapetra town center. The house is located on a small cape with a really nice cove below the house, easy to reach with a 5 minutes trail (not so easy if with young children). This cove is basically a small private beach with natural cover offered by the little caves underneath the rock walls and calm, crystal clear sea. The house itself is cozy and has all the comforts: a classic Greek bathroom to which you get used immediately, very powerful air conditioning in the bedroom, and a stunning veranda protected from the with and the sun during all the day, in which you could relax staring at the sea in the evening. There is also an hammock! Silvana is super nice and helpful. The communication has been simple and immediate, as she is basically always available for your needs. I recommend both the house for its comforts and the town of Ierapetra for its tranquillity, rather than the northern part of the island. The south is calm and beautiful with an definitely tolerable level of tourism.
