Must stay if you want to have a real Crete experience. Tucked away from the village, Maria's place hides behind a majestic gate and await you with its historical magic. Beautiful doesn't describe it and pictures do it no justice. Maria is awesome as a host and as a person, we wish we had more time to spend there and chat with her. The house has everything you need, is clean, cosy and very romantic. The best part is waking up looking at the mountain from the window next to the bed. The village is really tiny, as the streets, but pretty and very close to Hehaklion. If you choose to stay here make sure to buy some Kalitsouni from Krhtikos Bakery! Hope to be able to come back soon.
