Four of us came from around the world and had a wonderful reunion week at this truly amazing stone villa. It was a great place to catch up, play cards, go for a swim, and spend a few days going for a trek, driving through parts of the beautiful island and visiting the old town of Chania.

Nantia was there to welcome us warmly, share the different options that were available in the area, and share some treats and drinks from Crete to start our trip. She also helped to arrange transportation for a walk in the gorge and an early taxi for one in our group. We had plenty of space and really enjoyed our time.

Cafes and restaurants in the village of Kaliviani were great for mornings and evenings when we wanted to get a local taste of the culture and culinary treats.

We were all sad to leave and were so glad to have chosen Marietta's house for our week in Crete.
