We really enjoyed our stay in Gonia. John's parents Kostas and Eva are incredibly lovable, spoiled us with treats from their garden and were always there when we needed something. The apartment was clean and is well equipped. Except for a kettle we didn't miss anything in the kitchen. WiFi worked reliably. The garden is beautiful and well-kept, especially wonderful for children, and there were many toys for our daughter to play with. It is important to mention, however, that this is a typical Cretan village with many dogs barking loudly all night long, just right after sunset. So we could only sleep with the windows closed and AC on. Otherwise the location is very idyllic and ideal for exploring the area around Rethymno.
