We were made to feel very welcome by Basilis and his mother. They provided a bottle of their own olive oil and raki, both of which were amazing! We had a lovely meal with them one evening, and it gave us a chance to experience traditional Cretan cuisine.
The house was lovely and comfortable, and remained nice and cool even though it was very hot outside. The location is a little out of the way - around 30 mins drive from Chania - but the scenery and surrounding villages make the journey absolutely worth it! Hiring a car would be essential though.
