Kastri is a very beautiful and relaxing place, especially if you don't want to be in a touristic place, but really want to immerse yourself in the Cretan culture and traditions.
The rooms are clean and the sea view from the terrace is magical. The landlords are very warm, friendly and welcoming.
In 5 minutes you can reach one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete, where there are caves and many rocks to jump off.
It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the nearest village where you can enjoy various authentic delicious taverns and cafes.
A beautiful contemporary Cretan art gallery can also be found there.
Last but not least, an important Tip would be:
It is best to travel by car or by bike.
If you want to drive further distances and explore places, having a vehicle is very handy because there are only broad paved streets, without sidewalks.
