We had a really nice time at Villa Anastasia and enjoyed our vacation very much.
Artemis has contacted us shortly before the vacation and was also otherwise super to reach.
The house is very, very clean. As shown in the pictures. The garden is very beautiful. There are many olive trees and flowers.
In the garden is a barbecue, which we used once.
Especially the house cat was a highlight of our stay.
In Prinés itself there are about 5 taverns within walking distance, but we only tried one of them (Giannikos: 10/10 stars! Be sure to go there).
The house is really nicely located and Prinés is a really great place to relax.
What we have to say though is that in Prinés and in Crete you definitely need a car if you don't want to do everything by Taxi. For example, there are only Supermarktes One town away (30 minutes walk down a fast-moving, winding road). Since we were unfortunately too late and there was not a single rental car left on the island, we had to cover many distances by taxi, which in retrospect was not that bad. To Rethymno (incredibly beautiful harbor town where we were every evening) we always took the bus. Tickets are available at the mini market down the street. The bus takes about 10 minutes and it is definitely an experience to take it as you have a wonderful view of the city.
In town we can recommend the gyros pita store Passepartout.
During your vacation you should definitely visit the small Gerani Beach/ Kamari Beach. There you can dive wonderfully and you only need about 10 minutes by car to get there and the water is crystal clear. Also worth seeing is the Baja Beach Club in Rethymno (also with children). There you can watch the sunset wonderfully.
It was really great in Crete and we would definitely want to stay with Fani and Artemis again.
Thank you very much for this great vacation.
