We stayed 4 days in the 'hapiness' house. The house had a very nice view and pool. We were welcomed with raki and watermelon. We didn't met Nikolaos, but you can ask him anything by phone. But instead it would be nice if we had some more information about the house and the region, when we arrived. But we figured out ;) . The house is 45 minutes drive from Chania, where you can visit the lovely venetian harbor and the old town. There is also a big supermarket called 'Liddl' . If you like to go to a café our taverne in the evening Kalyves and Almeryda is 20 minutes drive. In Kalyves you also have Kera beach to enjoy the view and nice weather in crete. Next to a small supermarket you have a big bakery, with delicious croissants and ect. People off Mellidoni are very friendly. We liked there beautifull church! If you're looking for your perfect Instagram picture you can go to Georgiopolis. It's not such a touristic beach, but the small church in the sea is a must see if you're here! If you like to cool down, you can go paddling on the Kournas lake. Unfortunatly we couldn't walk the samaria gorge because i was injured after visiting Frangokastello (1 hour drive through beautifull mountains and hills). They where busy restoring the castle, so for now it wasn't worth the 2 euro's each. Sweet water beach , witch you can only visite after taking a taxiboat from chora sfakion or rough hiking,was wonderfull! I hope you have a nice time in Crete and you liked our traveltips!
