I spent the first week of my honeymoon here. Out of dozens of Airbnbs I have stayed at, this place is hands down the best experience I have had. It’s located about an hour from the town of Chania - it is the perfect mix of “off the beaten path”, yet it’s still walkable to a few fantastic restaurants.
The cave is a unique and special place. From the open doors of the porch, you’ll hear goats and roosters- every morning we felt like we were waking up on a movie set! We got to know the host, who is one of the kindness and most thoughtful people. We have never experienced such loving hospitality from an Airbnb host before! She gave phenomenal recommendations for things to do in the area, and we loved every one of them. (The cooking class at a family farm nearby was our favorite!)
The only thing we would change is choosing to stay longer! Try to spend at *least* 5-6 days here so you can actually enjoy the Cave (there is so much to explore in Crete)!
