we had a good stay at the villa, we rented a car which was great to get around the island, some wonderful little restaurants down the road which are walking distance and they do great local food. the beach is a couple minute walk down from the villa also, so was lovely going for a swim in the evenings when it was a little cooler. we enjoyed a lot of hiking and exploring in the many gorges crete has to offer, however if you are anything like us and enjoy an evening in with some nibbles and a good movie after a long day's hike I would say to bring a fire stick with you for tv or tablet as non of the channels are in English, not an issue but something we wished we had remembered to take us for a movie night 😀 all in all a wonderful stay!
