Fanis was very welcoming as a host and communicated very well. The itinerary he sent us had all the necessary details to find the house situated at the top of Kalamaki and he came to the house to meet us there. He also explained how to reach the main beaches of the area. He generously left olive oil, raki and other foodstuff for us to have. The house is less than 10 minutes’walk from Kalamaki’s main beach and 20 minutes’ drive from Komos and Matala and from the archaeological site of Phaestos. It is an authentic village house. The lounge/kitchen, bathroom and toilets are on the first floor. The bedroom is on a mezzanine floor with a terrace giving a panoramic view of the sea, the village and the surrounding mountains.
The house is not recommended for older people or people who can’t walk well as the stairs are quite steep. It should be mentioned in the ad.
