Ms Valia was very helpful host.
We stayed in villa Sokaki for 2 weeks, 4 adults and 4 children, its an amazing place in a small Greek village. The villa is very clean and has all you might need on holiday. The local tavern with local food is great too, much better than places near the beach. We rented a car and were able to drive around to shop, but there is also a bus that takes you straight to the Rethymno beach. The old town in Rethymno is also amazing, if you are for a bit of shopping. We visited places like Baja Beach Club, Elafonisi Beach and WaterCity water park, kids were very entertained and didn't mind the drive.
Overall we had great time! and miss bbq evenings with semi-sweet Cretan red wine.
