We had a great time at crete, the house in litsarda is very Nice. Also for families with small kids. the courtyard garden is beautiful , the big avocado tree gives plenty of shadow if you like.
Solaste a Nice coffeebar, is only 50 meters away opposite to the church. Vamos is just a 5 minutes drive and there you can get freshly baked Bread in the morning.
Beaches are 10-15 minutes away.
