The place is situated in a quiet village of Modi, which is very easy to access from the main road connecting all major cities of the North of the island with a help of gps navigator. Definitely you will need a car as most of the sighseeing places are best reachable by car. For instance Heraklion is 2 hrs driving, Rethymno is 1hr 20 min and Hania only 15 min driving. There is a small touristic village called Gerani down the road which is 30 min away by foot from the place or just 7 min by car. There you can find plenty of good restaurants and bars also lots of small and big shops like Lidl for instance. Beach is also just next to this village but unfortunately the waves are rather high for kids to enter and can be even dangerous for adult people. So have to either catch days with quiet winds or choose other beaches like Elafonisi for example which is fantastic beach for families with kids and is just 1hr 20 min driving by car. Famous place Balos is more or less same driving time.
The house itself looks new and modern, has 2 floors with a kitchen and sofa on first floor and 2 sleeping rooms on 2nd. 1st floor is above the other living floor which is usually used by other guests or owner herself. Although has separate entrances and no one is bothering each other. Aircos are in all loving rooms also on 1st floor there is a nice big veranda where you can sit at the table and enjoy beautiful sunsets by drinking glass of wine or just beer. It is really great atmosphere. House is fully equipped with everything, kitchen appliances, washing maschine and even vacuum cleaner. Even if you need something else owner will assist with great pleasure and is very fast in reacting. In front of the house there is a big car parking space enough for 3 big cars!
Despoina was very friendly to meet us and assist and she lft us with some nice local Raki drinks and other delicios things in the fridge which was very nice from her side.
All in all it is perfect place for families with kids or just a couple who doesnt like to sit at the same beach all day long but just likes driving around the island and seeing all the nice places of the island
Want to thank Despoina and Argyris for thrir kindness and hospitality!
We really enjoyed it and it was really sad to leave back home...
