Come here for the amazing view and the authentic Cretan village experience. Kerames (a sleepy but very windy village) is an absolute gem- its center is completely pedestrianized and the houses are painted white and blue. The house has the best location in the village, at the bottom, with pristine views of nature. The villagers are welcoming. The hosts were easily reachable via whatsapp. Wifi (in the living room) was super fast.
We particularly enjoyed two activities. First, preveli beach 15 min away has one of the few remaining indigenous palm tree forests in Crete (park at Dionyssos Tavern and eat there). It looks like a North African oasis. Not to be missed! Second, we visited the Samaria gorge and the beautiful village of Loutro by taking the 10:30 ferry from Chora Sfakion (an easy 1h30 drive away via Spili). You can walk to the famous "Iron Gates"/"Portes" and back to the beach at Agia Roumelli to get the 17:30 ferry back. Do not miss the fish tavern at Agia Fotia, a quick drive down from Kerames.
