We spent nine wonderful days in Thanos' beautiful and wonderfully comfortable villa. We're so lucky to have met him - our stay in Crete was a dream come true in every respect.
Thanos is an amazing host, he recommended a car rental, provided coordinates and instructions to facilitate our arrival, greeted us at the villa, put snacks and bottled water in the fridge, etc. He did everything possible to ensure our stay is perfectly comfortable. All amenities are great, the pool is perfect. Balconies everywhere, airy, quiet, elegant, and safe.
The location is great, a five-min drive to mini-markets, pharmacy, the beautiful Karteros beach, a 15 min drive to the Lidl supermarket.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to Knossos, the museums, the water park, the island is gorgeous, but the most wonderful are its people - warm, affectionate, open, hospitable. Pretty much everyone had a hug to share, an unexpected gift to offer, a nice gesture to make.
As expected, Thanos is the best host, and his hospitality, honesty, and warmth are symbolic for Crete. We're already looking forward to returning. Many heartfelt thanks for everything!
