We could not have imagined a more beautiful place to stay for our honeymoon. This home in Plaka is stunning, and offers unbeatable views of the Mediterranean Sea and a true Cretan sunset. Plaka is a comfortable town with a convenient market, and we definitely recommend Taki’s for dinner. As others have mentioned, Christina’s mother welcomed us with fruit and wine. She was most welcoming and even offered to print our Ryanair boarding passes. ***Tip for Americans*** We were not aware of the need for Americans to have an International Driver’s Permit in order to drive in Greece. In order to make the best of your time on Crete, you will HAVE to be able to drive. Although it worked out for us to drive some awesome places, it would have been much less stressful had we had our IDP. Get an official one from AAA, and give it a few weeks.
