I really adored this absolutely charming lodging. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, but also a very unique and Cretan character. I just really wanted to spend time there and enjoy the decor — it felt so welcoming. I had my the coffee (provided :)) on the roof in the morning — to the soundtrack of the prayers from the local church. The well-equipped kitchen was a bonus as I was there during November — so no restaurants open in Kritsa. But there is a decent sized market 2 minutes walk down the road (closed sundays) and the fruit and avocados from Maria were welcome as well. She rightly suggested I head a few kilometers up the road to Kroutsa for food (Xatheri was delicious and absolutely hopping on a Sunday afternoon). Recommend the Kroutsa bee forest if you like a mountain drive/hiking and Panagia Kera is a must do. Don’t trust the maps that start with go in this part of the world!
