We had a perfect 2 weeks at Andrii's house.
It is a perfect location to combine :
-peaceful stay in the house : very quiet neighborhood away from holiday resorts. The house is well equipped & maintained.
-discovery of the surrounding nature : runs & walks in the mountains in Kournas - including botanical walks with donkeys (great for the kids) ; observation of turtles on the lake; wild fruits picking (figs, carob, blackberries...).
-great food : good meals at the local taverns (Georgias & Athitis were our favorites), good fresh local products (fruits, vegetables, yoghurt, cheese, oil)
It is also a very good "base" to explore the west side of Crete. We really enjoyed the south coast with the wild beaches (very good for snorkeling) & beautiful gorges (Imbros, Aradena).
Andrii is a great host, very attentive & reactive. He answered all our questions in no time & welcomed us with nice fruits & wine.
I highly recommend this place & hope to come back.
