What a lovely and relaxing place to while away the days in the sun. If you’re after the hustle and bustle of Malia or even Chania, then this place isn’t for you.
If you’re after a place that feels down to earth and far from the glitz of the tourist traps then this may be the village for you.
The house is a gem. We were here from mid September to nearly mid October and wiled away many a day on the deck with a book, punctuated with a cool off swim in the ocean. You can be as self-sufficient as you like or just hang out at one of the Tavernas on the beach with a cold Mythos in hand.
We felt very at home here and used this property as a base to explore the Asterousia mountains, it’s villages and scenery.
The dramatic setting of Tres Elklisses and the soaring mountains behind it kept us looking skyward as the vultures and eagles whirled on thermals.
It all made for a memorable honeymoon, George and Anna are great hosts, very good to communicate with and also a good source of info on Crete and places to see.
This place will now hold a special place in our hearts.
