If you are looking for an authentic experience of life in a traditional Cretan village than this is perfect for you! The house is located in a small village forty minutes from Heraklion. It is quiet and beautiful. You can see mountains in the distance and Apostoli a village untouched by tourists. The locals were happy to talk to us and tell us where to go.
The house itself was absolutely adorable. Everything was clean and beautifully kept. The hosts had breakfast food for us ready in the morning. It was made/grown by their family and was delicious. If you are planning to stay here I strongly suggest a rental car, which we had. A taxi would be expensive and buses unavailable.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay here, strongly recommended if you want to get away from the chaotic touristic vibe of Chania and Heraklion.
