We had a fantastic 10 days in the raisin house. Everything is exactly as pictured and perfect for 2 people.
Manolis and Veli are very attentive hosts that care about you being comfortable and having a nice stay. Communication was super easy.
Getting around without a rental car is doable, but probably stressfull for an entire trip as you will have to walk the way down to Maleme to catch any sort of public transport. That being said, we found being a little car-dependent a very acceptable trade-off considering how much nicer it was to stay in the tiny Xamoudochori compared to the touristy coastal towns around Chania.
Thanks again Manolis & Veli for the nice time :)
