We arrived to panoramic views and hammocks and table nestled under trees on a pretty big terrace after a 2 hour drive from Heraklion. Bliss! Shoes off shorts on bottle of wine opened! The house is cosy very clean with nice personal touches and a few nice condiments etc in the cupboards. Good WiFi! I am writing this in May 2022. Previous recommendations suggest you must buy all your food before you arrive. Might I suggest only snacks and cereal! All the villages have little supermarkets which really need our support now. We could find places to buy all the essentials 5 minutes, 15 minutes... Anytime you travel around you will pass a village shop or two. Ano Rodakino had a pretty decent shop with fresh and staples. Plakias which is the biggest beach resort has a massive supermarket. Also the cost of fuel... It's currently 2.24 euros per litre petrol and goes up to 2.30 down this end. So you don't need to panic buy fuel either. Frangocastello further to the West looks like it's set for bigger development. All the local beaches were lovely. We drove down as quite a hike. The Imbros gorge hike was gorgeous with lots of flowers out. We plan do do the Aradena gorge next time. We enjoyed the cool mornings and evenings. We had 2 days of very unstable gale force winds otherwise it was a great temperature between 19-25. I swam as much as I could the water was somewhere around 18/19 degrees cool for some and very fresh clean water. The roads were all generally quite good. only reason at all that I have 4/5 for location is the ramp where you park to the side of the house is a bit close to a bend for reversing out. Fabulous stay !
