This place was AMAZING! Pantelis and Nikos do a fabulous job hosting, and this house was even better than I expected. The house itself is gorgeous with 2 charming, traditionally Greek bedrooms, a comfy living room, and a dining room straight out of a Downton Abbey. It was gorgeous.
As great as the house was, the patio was the star of this house. It's GIANT, and the view was just dreamy. There are lots of fresh herbs, olive and fig trees, and a perfect amount of comfy lounge seating. This place was just perfect for our week in Crete.
It's a small sleepy village, which was exactly what we wanted. This is a gorgeous part of the island, and isn't heavily visited by tourists, so there's less to do, but it's quiet, and there are markets and a few Tavernas for food, so we cooked mostly and ate out some. The scenery is stunning, and I'm so glad we made this house our base for a few days.
The hosts have thought of everything! This house had some amazing surprises like a high-tech telescope and a basket full of local handcrafted treats like honey, olive oil, olive spread, wine, and cookies. We happily ate our way through the best tastes of Crete with this welcome basket.
We loved our stay and hope to come back again!
