Amazing views, adorable little town, and a relaxing modern home renovated into a gorgeous, classical stone house. Plenty of space for the two of us, and easily space for 4-5 depending on the level of privacy needed. We only used a single bathroom, though there is a second accessible outdoors via the large patio.
The neighbors are all friendly, even when verbal communication wasn't an option. A few of the closer neighbors spoke great English and are helpful. The town mini-mart has all the essentials, though the bread and produce are fresher if you stop at a supermarket along the drive over.
Cleopatra was always available by phone, and her son was staying in town (in a neighboring apartment) during our stay to help as well.
As long as you're a competent driver, I highly suggest staying here for less touristy beaches than those closer to the cities, or at least what we encountered in Heraklion. Beach taverns are still present at all the beaches we saw, though there are fewer than in the cities. The closest beach is about a 10-15m drive, and the amazing Palm Beach at Preveli is about 25-30 via some exciting dirt roads. The easier path approaches from the east of the beach rather than driving west and then south. We parked at Dionyssos Beach.
Overall very happy with our stay, and would definitely stay again if the opportunity presents itself.
