Fantastic stay-nestled in a small Cretan village with warm and welcoming culture. The villa and its garden and pool area are exquisite- perfect for spending the long days outside relaxing in all nooks and crannies of the beautiful landscaped space. Very private space but a stone’s throw away from mini market, bakery, taverna (fantastic food!) and even a local pottery workshop. Dimitra and her family were extremely helpful and attentive. Very clean and all the amenities you could want & need. Car needed but 15/20 minutes from a beach and town. For beaches, would recommend Ravdoucha & day sailing trip with B Crew Sailing to see Balos Lagoon and Gramvoucha (gorgeous turquoise water and even some ruins for culture enthusiasts). Waves on the rock restaurant in Ravdoucha is also a must and the old Venetian harbour in Chania with its narrow lanes full of stylish shops(get there early, approx 8am to get the peace before tourists arrive). Our favourite days were spent playing volleyball in the pool, reading & sunbathing followed by a barbecue/takeaway from next door taverna. Outside bbq is amazing! A fantastic holiday-thank you Dimitra & family
