An excellent airbnb experience. Basilis's mom, Poppi met us and was generous every day in bringing us some of her cake and other sweets.
She invited us and other guests for dinner on the patio one night.
She made us feel like we were very welcome and a part of her household. She has a beautiful garden. The apartment is great, old style stone and comfortable. Platanos is a good, quiet place from which to explore western Crete. We can't imagine a better house and host there. We did see Basilis a couple of times and he gave us a beer on the house at his snack bar on the beach. He's a friendly welcoming guy.
