Maria is the greatest host ever! Our first night in Crete she took us with her to an open air music festival where we watched a symphony play under the gorgeous full moon. She made us treats and gave us a delicious bottle of wine. We loved learning about life in Crete from her. As for the apt, it's a beautiful loft with 2 large terraces, with a steep staircase to enter. The space is divided into a comfortable living room and bedroom, with a small kitchen area. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well equipped and included a coffee maker. The bathroom is large and very nice. Kissimos is a great jumping off point for the amazing beaches nearby. We took a boat to Balos beach from the port. There are many great restaurants nearby. We really felt like we were staying with a caring relative who made sure we were having a great vacation. Thank you so much Maria for making our visit to Crete so special!
