Best vacation in authentic Crête!
If you want to spend a holiday in a typical small village of Crete, Brian's house, nestled in the small village of Milatos is perfect for that!
There is no noisy and saturated seaside resort here, everything is calm, sun and relaxation.
The village where the house is located is authentic with its small streets, its welcoming inhabitants, its cats, 1km from the beach and its good restaurants. Here, no industrial junk food like in the neighboring resorts, you eat fresh and inexpensively.
The house is perfect, it is accessed by a small interior courtyard full of flowers of all kinds, it is very clean and like new, nestled in the heart of the village. We spent most of the time on the well appointed terrace with a wonderful view of the sea. It was great to have breakfast there or stay there the night with a little raki.
There is nothing missing in the house, air conditioning, washing machine, very good bedding and so on.
The kitchen is very well equipped, although with the price of restaurants, we only cooked one meal in ten days.
Brian is the perfect host, very available and welcoming as the Cretans know how to be, non-intrusive, caring, he made us discover the best restaurants in the area (and typical dishes), the best places to visit, always available and with a communicative good mood, he gave us the best vacation we had had in a long time.
The house is right next to the En Milatos restaurant. It is run by Makis’s family, and I want to thank them again for their warm welcome, it’s very simple, from the first night, it feels like we’ve been coming for months. The food is delicious and every evening Makis and his two sons play traditional music, and they know their repertoire! Magical moments in small groups, sometimes private concerts, in the middle of this beautiful little village, at night, believe me, these are rare moments that you will not experience elsewhere and that you will remember. You meet great people there. This village has a soul and it is in large part also thanks to this family, thank you to them.
In summary, perfect vacation, thank you Brian and everyone from Milatos, it is with great pleasure that we will be back!
