We loved staying at Malvina’s place, super quick communication and Malvina’s Mother (Kakia), greeted us by driving us into the village and provided the most incredible hospitality all week. She kindly gave us a meal when we arrived and all week showered us with delicious treats, such a kind and lovely lady. You feel you are staying with a family friend and don’t want to leave!
The village is very quiet and perfect for a some well needed R&R. Like the other reviews have mentioned, you do need a car to get there but it’s roughly 30mins from Heraklion Airport.
We hiked, went to fairly local beaches (Beach Tobruk & Voulisma beach). We definitely recommend sailingtrips.gr for a yacht trip out to the island of Dia, Gouves, Greece from Heraklion, a fantastic day and the snorkelling is incredible in the most clear water!!
Really recommend you to come and stay, it’s home from home.
