Excellent accommodations with an excellent view . Host were / are the best ambassadors the Greeks have to offer ! The nearby village
has good food and the beach is fine . Town ,
Rethymno is only a 15 min. pleasant drive and has everything . Can't say enough about the host , we miss them more than anything else .
Best location for home base ,centrally located
within easy driving to all directions . Roads were fine but watch out for the goates . Any direction you drive will be interesting and worth exploring . The Greek people seem to be a bit more " civilized" , I.e. , not as aggressive and more like family than other European countrys . Been to Europe many times , would return to the islands , Athens
was a bit of a disappointment , too much
grafeeti for my taste but the food , museums & people were fine . Sophia and her husband are the kindest people with a beautiful home . Miss them both very much , they made the trip , and made it great . Love to return to this perfict location but bring a guide or GPS , it's a "trip" the first time up , don't attempt the drive at night or you'll be sleeping with the goates .... ! Just do it , you'll love it !
P.S. , gotta bring home some honey & olive oil , best I've ever had anywhere , the wine is fine also . Bon Voyarge .
