Even without meeting the hosts Maria and Giannis, we would enjoy staying in this charming place, where every (and here it means every) single detail has been thought of to make the stay pleasant and easy. There is literally everything you need for a short or long stay, there is literally everything for your kid or child too. Amazing! It’s stylish and very well decorated, it’s fresh and sparkling clean. We had a very good sleep in a good bed with pleasant bed linen. We also appreciated well located air conditioners that could run the whole night without disturbing our sleep or a sleep of our one year old kid.
The place is located in a proximity to a supermarket Synka, a bakery and tavernas or coffee shops. There is a street market every Friday.
Kolymvari is the name of a famous olive oil region. There are many beautiful olive plantations, a nice museum with the oldest olive tree in the world. In normal times, there are tours at one of the famous olive oil producers Terra Creta. At Synka it was possible to buy products from the area.
Now, the hosts. They are not just superhosts, they are superb hosts! Maria, Giannis and their son Lefteris are the nicest and kindest hosts we’ve ever met. We wish we stayed longer and had a chance to interact more with this beautiful family. The place is rented through a Guesteasy team, not sure who is Nikos but the guys we mentioned are the owners of the place.
We can highly recommend the place and we’ll certainly consider it next time we visit Crete. We give very strong 5 points!
