Maria takes her role hosting guests above and beyond - we felt like family friends as she treated us with such generosity, kindness and attention. On arrival, Maria collected us from the bus stop and took is to her flat, which is above her house. She gave us a welcome drink and platter of food with her home made Cretan pies (we didn't need lunch that day!) We stayed for 4 days and each day Maria gave us delicious home made treats which she left on the doorstep. One evening we spent a few hours in her home downstairs eating and drinking with her, her husband and some family friends, after she invited us in when she spotted us returning from the beach. The flat is exactly as pictured and described - very spacious with two big verandahs to enjoy being outside for meals in good weather. The space is well equipped with everything you need, and Maria very kindly checks in to ensure you have everything you need. Thank you so much Maria! We can't wait until we can come back!
