We had a wonderful holiday in Nektarios' stunning villa. We were delighted to arrive at the house to a complimentary bottle of wine and a bowl of fruit. Nektarios was very warm and welcoming and helped us book taxis to and from Chania airport (90€) The villa and pool were so perfect that we hardly ever wanted to go anywhere else! Everything was clean and the decor in the house was lovely- even prettier than the photos. Very useful having free wifi access too.Weather in September was perfect!

Maroulas village is a tiny sweet little village on top of a big hill (we cancelled our bicycle hire as soon as we arrived!) There are a couple of delightful traditional restaurants in the area which have fabulous views and from which you can watch the sunset. Thavma was our favourite. Unfortunately there were some building works in the area during our stay, but it didn't really bother us.

There is a bus service Mon- Fri which runs to the nearest town Rethymnon at around 7am and 3pm, but check the times with the locals as they seem to change. Taxis are around 12- 15€. There are some nice beaches and restaurants in and around the town.

But we were happiest at the villa- lazing by the private pool, or sitting on the terrace in the evening. A perfect holiday. We hope to go again soon!
