We were very pleased by a very warm welcome including a selfmade pasticcio from our host Melina. The house is perfect for relaxing, no neighbours except some sheep and olive trees, it's clean and functional, but most of all comfortable and beautiful. We spent most of our evenings on the terrace in the garden (with roof and a fireplace for bbq).
The beach of Episkopi is very nice, mostly sandy, not very crowded. The few restaurants are very good and offer sunbeds (in our travel time for free). Water temperature at the end of September was 25 degrees. There's not much around in walking distance. A car is highly recommended, to reach the house, the beach, the nearby village of Episkopi, or any other location on Crete.
I can only confirm the feedback given so far, the hospitality and kindness of Melina and her husband has been extraordinary and beyond any expectation. Thanks for making our holiday truly wonderful!
