Nice and strategically well located Villa in the authentic Cretan village that has everything we needed. Geographically it is closer to the North cost line (10-15 min by car to Georgioupoli beach) but the road to the South, to the wonderful beaches around Hora Sfakion is just about 30 minutes away, as well as Dourakis winery where you may buy and taste high quality local wine.
Eva was a wonderful host and always quick in responding to our requests.
The village Emprosneros has a mini market, taverna, boulangerie and a coffee shop. If you take a car, 5 min away there is Vrysses with numerous restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, medical offices ( you may do Covid testing there).
Various local villages in the area, like Vamos, Gavalohori are worth visiting.
If you need an intense city life, Chania and Rethymno are only 30 away by car.
We enjoyed our stay away from crowds and at the same time we were still close to the most well known touristic destinations on Crete!
