We had a great vacation in Crete! That was also because we lived in Nikos' Lemon Tree House. We found everything there as it was described. We rented the house with two people. However, up to four people can stay there.
The beach can be reached on foot in 5 minutes. So do the taverns. A supermarket is only 300m away. So it is an ideal starting point. The Paralia Psaromoura beach can also be reached on foot (approx. 15 minutes).
There are also a few car rental companies in the village. So there is still the possibility of renting a car on site if you have not yet organized it from home.
If you arrive by taxi from the airport, I recommend booking your arrival and departure in advance via https://www.crete-taxi.gr. You can save a few euros there. But of course you can also take a taxi spontaneously.
I would particularly like to highlight the communication with Nikos! He could always be reached by text message and always responded very quickly and professionally. When one of our two air conditioning systems failed, he quickly organized a new device and a technician to install it. And that in the high season, when there was hardly a technician to be found.
This "incident" showed us that Nikos is really trying and able to find a solution. We had a fantastic holiday and can only warmly recommend Nikos as host and his Lemon Tree House!
