We highly recommend Mike's place as an excellent base for visiting the high region of Omalos and also the area between Omalos and Sougia. It isonly a few minutes from Xyloskala the starting point for the Samaria gorge and for climbing Ginglos. The two room unit we stayed in is in a pleasant and comfortable style and attractively furnished. It has thick stone walls that provide fine insolation. The kitchen-livingroom is well equipped and good use is made of the compact space. There is an outside porch on two sides that provides a lot of additional room. Also there are fruit trees that were full of apples when we stayed there.
The is an airconditioner AND heating for colder seasons. The house is on the slope just above the Omalos plain and the view of the mountains is impressive.
Mike and his wife were there to meet us and were very friendly and responded immediately to all our questions.
Visitors should be aware that at this time (until the completion of the new reservoir under construction) water pressure in the shower is weak. While there is no Wifi the cellular reception is good and we had no trouble using our cellphone to link our laptop to the internet.
