This family owned property is the perfect hide away if you want to avoid the major tourist cities (Platanias is the next town over and you might as well be in Cancun!). The hosts are warm, gracious, and very knowledgeable about the area.

The property is very charming, picturesque, and quiet.

There is no air conditioning so if you sleep with the windows open like we did, be ready to get bit by mosquitoes (not many but it takes only one).

The shower is right next to the toilet so if you're a big person, be warned.

Although there is an English breakfast every morning for 4euro, I suggest buying your own products to store in the mini-fridge in your room or go somewhere else. If you're in Crete, you'd like to start your morning with fresh bread (hot toasted pita is amazing), Cretan honey, butter, olive oil, good quality cheeses, and fresh cold cuts are just a few of my suggestions.
