We had a wonderful week at Carol's house in Kritsa. Carol met us at check in, helped us with our luggage, and gave us a full tour. The house was perfect for us and had everything we needed, as well as being well-decorated. The house is built on a hill and has steep stairs to the sleeping levels, but we had no problems, and the kids (and adults) loved the unique setup. From Carol's house we were able to walk about 5-7 minutes to a cafe and mini grocery in town, as well as restaurants and shops just a bit further on. A car is essential (though we parked a short walk up the lane), and we were able to take trips to Agios Nikolaos, Elounda / Spinalonga, and Ierapetra. We also had a fun hiking in Kritsa Gorge and Sarakinas Gorge.
