Above and beyond hospitality! Ionnis met us at the sidewalk leading to the house at 0100 (late flight), walked us inside where we very warmly welcomed, and found a stocked fridge with fresh fruit and drinks. (note, it was the off season and all local stores were closed, so they kindly provided simple food for dinner and breakfast for our family.) George, Ionnis's son, was the primary communicator, and he gave us curated advice for eating out, trips, sites, and activities for my family and me to do while staying in Crete. Very responsive with messages and clearly desired that we enjoy our time in Crete. They defined island hospitality for us.
The apartment is right on the beach, and despite it being November, we had fun swimming and playing on the beach. We intend to return next year!
