For anyone wishing to stay at George's beach house, we can only say "do it". This is a tiny slice of heaven and his parents Popi and Ionnes (spelling?) are the most hospitable, kind and generous people who will treat you like family.
We arrived very late and they were there to welcome us and show us around, having cooked us a huge pastistio, orange sponge cake and large spiral spinach pie; they had stocked the fridge with staples too.
There is a little supermarket a stroll along the beachfront and several tavernas for dinner options. For the adventurous, you can walk to the next beach which is also very pretty but smaller. But a car is probably your best option for getting around, especially to Knossos and further afield.
During our week there we did a bit of sightseeing and did plenty of relaxing. I only wish we had booked to stay longer as a weeknisnt enough to see and do everything.
Enjoy your stay!
Peta and Doug.
