We spent a wonderful and very relaxing three days in Villa Galatia. Despina was a very friendly and easy-going hostess. The house is magnificent and ideal for a romantic holiday in the middle of an idyllic mountain scenery with only sheep around you. The beaches on the south coast (e.g. Sfakia, from where you can also take taxiboats to Loutro, Marmara etc.) are only a 40 minutes' drive away. There are nice restaurants close by (we liked "Panorama" very much that is located just behind Askifou in the direction of Chania). A perfect holiday.
