This is a lovely traditional Cretan cottage, sensitively updated, in the heart of a peaceful small village in the hills above the coast. Perfect for a restful holiday. With powerful air conditioning in the main bedroom, it has a washing machine and two toilets. The kitchen garden contains a range of vegetables and fruits which guests may pick at their leisure. The house is half an hour’s leisurely walk from the local beach down the steep hill. The village is isolated so a car is advisable and the house has off-street parking. There is a village shop for essentials but for general provisions it is better to shop in Kolymvari. There are three restaurants in Afrata specialised in different things: grill, home cooking and seafood. Katerina’s father who is on hand in the village is very welcoming and generous. A great place to get away from it all
