George's place is a new typical Greek home with two bedrooms and 1 bath. There is a 3rd sleeping area in a loft above the second bedroom. It can accommodate two more people as long as privacy is not an issue.
The kitchen is well equipped. There are more than enough kitchen appliances to cook. We stayed two weeks and cooked most meals. Grocery and convience stores are within a 10 minute drive. City center Heraklion and the airport are both about 15 minutes away. There is a very nice outdoor seating area to have meals or drinks.
We were met at the airport by Yiannis who helped us with the arrival process. We stopped by a grocery store to pick up a few items as we were arriving fairly late in the day. He lead us to the house and showed us how everything worked. The arrival could not have been smoother. He was available the entire stay for questions.
We visited many places on Crete the two weeks here. The house is located no more than 10 minutes to the highway that runs the length on the northern coast. A car is a must have. We especially like the beaches near the Milas archaeological site. The drive is about 30 minutes. Good services on the beach with tavernas close by.
George's mother lives next door and she is very welcoming. She gave us cheese she made from her goat and eggs from her chickens. Also grapes and fruit from her orchids.
I feel it necessary to future visitors that I review fairly. There are at least 6 dogs in the immediate area. If they do not have a cat or a person to bark at, they bark at each other. This can go on for hours at night. Like an alarm clock, there are roosters crowing starting at 5 am. Some previous guests have suggested earplugs. If you can tolerate this, I highly recommend this accommodation. We enjoyed our stay!
