Beautiful house on the edge of a quiet, non-touristy rural village in the wine- and olive-producing country a half-hour drive south of Heraklion. The house is off the main street but just 150 meters from the town square, small shops, a cafe and a bar. There's nothing like sitting on the terrace at sunrise or sunset, watching the barn swallows swooping down and dipping their beaks in the pool! Great kitchen for cooking, and an outdoor grill too. Sleep in air-conditioned comfort if it's hot. The owner is happy to recommend visits to wineries and local tavernas. We were very pleased and hope to come back!
