We had an absolutely delightful stay at Katerina's house! The place is very well located, on the one hand away from crowded touristic places, on the other - right in front of a beautiful sand beach, and next to a bus stop (easy accessibility to Heraklion, Cretan aquarium, etc), and a walking distance to restaurants, cafes and shops in the nearby village. The studio is carefully and thoughtfully planned, and Katerina took care of our needs in coffee and tea (and Cretan herbal tea blended by Katerina is very tasty!), welcomed us with fruits and treated with delicious traditional mizithra cheese pies! The house has been artistically decorated, I could not help by fall in love with it, there is a lot of plants and flowers in the patio and a nice small tree garden. A large table in the patio where it is very cozy to have dinner and chat with friends and watch the sea - a beautiful sea view (turquoise colour of the water, an island on the horizon, passing coastal cruise ships), - adds to the charm of the place. We are also very grateful for the ability to host our friend who decided to join us at a very short notice! And finally, making friends with Katerina's dog - Marcos, watching the hens, playing with cats - all this was a return to something very authentic and genuine. I am most grateful for this very generous hosting to Katerina! Hoping to return one day and highly recommending the place and the host to others.
