I feel like this summer not only did I travel to Crete; I also travelled to Jason and Apollon’s hostel.
A destination of its own, where time stops and everything around you becomes more beautiful, more exciting. A place where everything is perfectly made so that you could begin your journey, should it be a personal or a travel one, in the best possible conditions.
Indeed, at Intra Muros, the quality of your stay goes hand in hand with the quality of your hosts. When renovating and creating this place, Jason as an architect made sure you would be provided a beautiful, safe, cozy, well-thought, suitable space to live, talk, eat, laugh -and many more- in... Everything has been thought out so that the only thing you will have to worry about during your stay is what you are going to choose to discover next.
Nothing’s missing;
from the curtain, locker, coat/towel hanger, light, plug for each -extremely comfortable- bed to the fully equipped kitchen, perfectly clean bathroom, bunch of restrooms, and let’s not forget neither about the living room full of board games, with its big wooden dining table to gather around and a nice TV with Netflix ready to play on, nor the heart of this place; the rooftop (and its room provided with plenty of great books in multiple languages and the most comfortable sofa ever!!) on which, every night, travelers from all around the world get together to share beers and views, while playing guitar or watching the beautiful Cretan sky and its veil of stars…
But to me the perfection lies in the hosts themselves; two of the most amazing persons I have been blessed of meeting, of which only the conscientiousness in their work matches the benevolence.
These two kind, patient, polyglot (Jason speaks at least four languages!!!), multi-cultural, genuine, funny, as knowledgeable as they are passionate about their city/island (you can go to them for any piece of advice you need or get the best recommendations about your trip, only if you manage to ask before they propose!!) open-minded, always happy to share what they have to offer, easy-going, thoughtful, generous guys -and their lovely family and friends, who will magically, instantly make you feel at home and not in an unknown place anymore- are the reason why I will come back… And why you most definitely will too.
