We stayed at Argyris’ place for a family vacation and our first time to Crete. Right in the center of Crete. Great spot for kids and a getaway. definitely need a car but closer to a lot of things (such as beaches and restaurants) than I had expected. Argyris’ mom greeted us since we were very delayed getting in and even though we don’t speak any Greek, she was very helpful, kind and it was a warm welcome. The pool stays warm and isn’t too deep which is great for kids- plus there’s no access directly from the upstairs level which makes it safer and you don’t have to worry about little kids getting to it.
