This was an ideal place for us to base ourselves and enjoy the delights of the region whilst immersing in a tiny old village under the church spires and surrounded by ruggedly beautiful mountain views. We felt like we were living in a sea of olives ! With a car we roamed the winding roads into winery regions and the stunning mountain vista of the Lassithi plateau. Whilst living in a village is a special and secluded experience we felt truly authentic in our experience as our hosts treated us to morning coffee on their balcony, daily bread and organic food supplies and a night experiencing the making and drinking of raki in the local community shed. Thanks for your genuine hospitality Manolis and Nopi -perfect to live the simple life for a while. Thank you!
