We had a great time in Vathi and truly enjoyed the house. The house is located in a small village, in the valley that descends towards the beach of Elafonissi, which is 15 minutes away by car. Differently from other parts of Krete, it is a very green spot, with many large trees which give a very fresh feeling. The house in itself is a wonderful traditional home organised around a patio covered by a green pergola. It is a traditional house, very well preserved and restored, yet differently from many other traditional houses we have been staying, this is very spacious and does not feel cramped (rooms have very high ceilings). Iraklis has been incredibly welcoming and offered us local honey, olive oil and few other items at our arrival. Unfortunately we spent there only three days as we would have loved being there for a longer period of time.
