We were three couples and one young adult staying at Michalis’ place for 5 days. The house is huge, clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed for making quick breakfasts and then a meal or two when we decided to hang out for a few hours to relax in the pool, sit and take in the view, and socialize. we did a lot on Crete but hated to leave this wonderful setting. The location was great. Right down the road from Almyrida, where we ate a few meals, arranged a snorkeling trip, bought groceries, and hung out at the beach. We were also able to get to other towns, beaches, an old monastery, an olive oil plant, and two old Venetian port towns - all within an hour of the house. The only downside was that it was hard to take a morning walk on the narrow, curvy roads in the area. That’s the price you pay for the incredible ocean view, though!
Michalis was helpful. He greeted us when we arrived, showed us around the house and answered all of our questions. He was available while we were there and then came to say goodbye the morning we departed.
