The studio was beyond perfect. Maria and Fotini were incredibly communicative, even sending an email with recommendations about what to do on the island before we arrived! When we arrived to Mochlos, we were shocked to see how close the apartment was to the water-- you can hear the waves at night and see the sea from the window. The apartment was airy, bright, very clean and well decorated. Maria and Fotini thought of every detail (including lavender on our pillows and a bottle of local raki to greet us). Meeting Maria was a pleasure, she is so kind and was happy to lend us a map and suggest beaches that only the locals know. Mochlos has a lot of delicious little tavernas (too many to try them all!) including one right next to the studio (that also had quick and free wifi). The only downside is the smell of the delicious cooking coming from the taverna because it makes you hungry! The perfect getaway for true relaxation off the beaten path while in Crete! Highly recommend.
