My time at the Stone House was nothing short of utterly magical. Traveling solo, I made a long trek from the west coast of the US before arriving in Chania that evening. Basilis was kind enough to pick me up at the airport and introduce me to a number of his friends before heading home for the night. Upon arrival, his mother Popí made a lovely meal of Dacos, fried potatoes & farm fresh eggs and the three of us dined al fresco in their beautiful garden. Time spent in this area will undoubtedly change you. The village of Platanos is quaint & welcoming. The beaches of Falasarna are beautiful and just a short distance away. Even though I was onto another adventure, I wasn't ready to leave. Highly recommended, I absolutely hope to return - perhaps next time, stay for a month.
