Our stay in Crete was fantastic. The house is a charming retreat. It's not so far from the city, but remote enough to give privacy. There is another house next door, but they don't take away from the feeling of peace and quiet. It was easy to check-in and provided a great home base to explore the beautiful mountains and beaches nearby. There were some very sweet neighborhood kitties nearby if you feel like feeding them ;) and some days sheep would cross through the yard, adding a great bit of fun to the day. Would definitely recommend.
