What an amazing place! Usually we rent a place for a holiday and only visit once but all of us agreed we would love to come back again. It is just so peaceful. For this trip, we had originally planned to go to Spain but due to COVID our plans were changed by Government announcements. So even though it was not our original plan, it turned out to be incredible.
I love the care that has been taken to look after the environment, by using solar energy and batteries for all your power. It's nice that it makes you think about being careful not to use too much energy (for example using aircon too much) so that you don't run out, and I hope that my children take this lesson home with them!
I love the fact that it's out of the way so the only real noise you hear is from wildlife and the church bells (which my daughter enjoyed trying to count) for what we
assume was the evening call to prayer).
The daily visits from our very friendly host (to feed the animals & make sure everything else is OK) were lovely and it is not easy to describe how delicious the eggs are.
I saw comments about the cockerel but we couldn't see why this would be a problem. At night, we had aircon on for couple of hours to cool upstairs before bed. Then with the windows closed and fans on, we didn't know the cockerel was there.
I recommend that any rental car is not a little one with little engine, as I wish I'd gone for next size up to make it easier to get up some big hills around Crete and to get up the steep driveway to the house easier.
It took a while for the children to get used to the idea that in Greece, we don't flush toilet paper but should use the bin :-)
The hosts are very generous and everything was provided to make you feel very welcome, including some home produced red and white wine. All care was taken for us, with hand sanitizer provided and a fully equipped kitchen. I love the extra touches like water filter in kitchen so you don't need to get bottled water. Little things like this just make it special
We were sad to leave but really hope to come back again soon. Thank you so much for our amazing holiday
