The apartment is located in a tiny village hidden between the mountains. We had a fantastic experience living in a traditional Greek neighbourhood and had a unique chance to feel the real life of rural Crete, it’s peace and tranquillity.
Eleftheria’s family is very hospitable and if you are in need of anything you will get it at once. They live on the first floor whereas we had the entire second floor with a huge terrace with sunbeds and a shaded dining area. Watching the sunrise over Kourtakiitiko gorge and the stars at night was absolutely amazing! The apartment itself is very clean, beautifully furnished in a traditional Cretan style (note that the double bed is 180cm in length! Single beds are longer;))), the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking.
There is nothing in this village apart from several houses but it is a perfect place to run away from the hustle and bustle of the busy towns and relax. Anyway, touristic Plakias is within 10 minutes drive, the gorge, Preveli and several beaches are within 5-15 minutes drive. And the hosting family makes a lot to feel you very welcome and at ease, grandma is the loveliest!!!! although she doesn’t speak English. Thank you very much for our lovely time at your place’
