Theo’s place is great value for money. There are two double beds and an air conditioner in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped- the is a coffee machine, electric kettle, sandwich maker, electric hob.
Theo is the most hospitable and wonderful host we’ve met!
He shared Rakia from his village and fruit that grew right on the vine in his garden, told us a lot about Crete and culture and neighbourhood cats (there’s a lot in Crete).
The place itself is right next to the beach , with tavernas around. The area is quiet and not crowded with tourists. You can take walk along the beachfront to get to the old town (c. 30 mins) or catch a bus (10 mins ride, but you have to buy tickets in advance and check time table, because it rides once per hour) . Taxi to the old town is 6-10 eur , and the bus ticket is 1euro. The place itself has been renovated, but has a beautiful set of old Greek hand crafted furniture. There’s also a small garden with fresh figs and grapes ( if you come August-November) where you can have your breakfast or dinner. The garden means mosquitoes, but the place has anti mosquito sockets, so remember to keep the doors shut during the day.
