Daniel is a warm and generous host. He goes above and beyond to make you feel at home at his place in Lithines. This was the perfect location from which to explore the far eastern part of Crete. You’re right next to the south coast for seaside relaxing, plus within easy driving distance to busier northern coastal towns, like Sitia, and the incredible east coast beaches around Xerokampos. The apartment itself is cozy, well-equipped, private and comfortable, including good A/C (a MUST during the heat wave) and a Nespresso machine in the kitchen. This is a place for visitors who want to experience the real Crete—off the beaten path. You’ll need a car to get there and for exploring the surrounding areas. There is easy parking to be found in the village streets near the house.
