This is a beautiful, well equipped villa in mature gardens that offer shade and sun. The pool was kept beautifully clean, the inside of the house was spacious, and our hosts took every effort to make our holiday a happy one. The drive down to the village is steep and not really suitable for walking in the hot sun, even for fit people so a car is needed, although there is some access by bus, and there are buses running along the highway to places along the east-west coast. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting various coast and mountain sites and places with fascinating history. Cretans everywhere were warm and welcoming.
