By all means come and stay at this wonderful place! I was here during my fourth trip to Crete and before I always went to the north shore. This is very different.
The little village of Kastri is one of the most loved places of cretans themselves. It is small, quiet, not at all touristy and is surrounded by breathtakingly beautiful scenery. The sea is warm to swim in even in May, and on the long untouched wild beaches you can spend a whole day completely alone.
The hosts of Nostos Home are adorable. I have never witnessed such warmth and hospitality even here in Greece, they are a very special family who want their guests to feel truly welcome. My room was not only sparklingly clean and pretty, it was filled with little treats like homemade pies and olive oil and raki.
So don’t search anymore, get on a plane to Heraklio, rent a car and come see what paradise looks like.
