We had an amazing time in Crete and from first arriving at the airport Alexandros was there to meet us and take us to the house. He had thoughtfully left lots of food and drink for us qhich was so kind, plenty of toiletries and towels and extra pillows and bottles of water etc which we hadn't expected. Alexandros came to clean the pool a couple of times during our 5 day stay and thoughtfully brought a couple of inflatables for the children to play with in the pool and a bag of charcoal for the bbq and messaged us to see how we were getting on too. The house is ideally situated being close to Iraklian with great restaurant 's especially Peskesi which was amazing and we highly recommend. Also Knossos and the fabulous Eraklion museum to view the archaeological finds that were found there. We travelled easily to the east to go to Plaka which is another fabulous spot and got the boat to Spinalonga which we highly recommend going too. We also went south to Lentas beach for an afternoon and enjoyed a lively meal at a beachfront Taverna and another day went west to an olive oil farm and had a tour of the oli making process on the way to Rethmynon which was great too. The house is clean, spacious and equipt with everything you need and more and we felt very much at home and felt very fortunate to have such a genuine and attentive host as Alexandros. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much Alexandros. X
