I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
I did not know that Soughia existed as a part of this world until I found George's place while searching in this region of Crete for a place to stay.
LUCKILY we booked with George (last minute, he was SO accommodating).
We had to leave to meet friends in another city for the weekend, BUT we loved his place so much that after ONE night there, we'd changed our travel plans so that we could come back and stay longer.
From not knowing that Soughia existed, to truly feeling like we could live in Moni forever (if George would have us ;) is saying a lot for the environment that he's managed to create.
Truly, his apartments are perfectly appointed. He's somehow managed to maintain the charm of his family home in a mountain village, in a wonderfully modern apartment with every amenity.
I can not say enough about what George has created in Moni.
Suffice it to say that we plan on (trying) to get back there every year for a vacation.
Perfectly located, perfectly appointed, perfectly perfect. We fell in love with the magic of the place and did all of our hikes with Moni as our base.
If you are planning on coming to Crete, plan to stay here.
Ps. Katerina is an amazing soul and keeps everything running seamlessly.
