We had a wonderful stay! Upon arrival we were greeted by Nikos and his family with a gift of olive oil made from their own olives and wine and raki made from their own grapes, as well as fruit and water bottles.
It was such a peaceful place - all we heard was birds chirping and wind rustling the olive trees. And yet we were still within walking distance of some taverns with very tasty (an inexpensive) food and less than a 15 minute drive from Rethymno. We travel quite a bit, and this definitely has been one of our favorite places to stay. I especially liked being able to cook outside with a view of the ocean and eat on the patio under the shade of olive trees.
If you like staying a little off the beaten path, enjoy nature, and don't mind driving narrow streets up the mountain (for us it added to the adventure, but I know it's not for everyone), you will love Agapis House!
