For anyone who does not enjoy the typical hotel vacation, the Carob House offers you the true cretan style and feeling. It is a very spacious stone house with lots of room for a large family of 5 to 6 people. We found everything we needed in a very clean condition. We were welcomes with the modt delicious zucchini pie and things in the fridge to get us started in our vacation. A really warm and pleasent welcome. We enjoyed the larde patio and garden, the outdoor kitchen and the nearby grocery store. Chorafakia is very small, away from the large tourist centres, but still only fifteen minutes from Chania by car. Having a rental car, makes life easier, but there is even a bus stop in front of the house. As a special tip we recommend the nearby Stavros beach (the large one, not the famious Stavros bay) with its absolutely amazing Sunset bar (you find its business cards in the grocery store). By the way, Crete is an amazing place to be! And Alexandra and Dimitrios are amazing hosts!
