The villas are beautiful, the location is idyllic and the management is flawless. Nikos sorted any issues I had immediately and kept a fresh supply of Raki on the kitchen table! The villas are perfectly located...on my first day I walked straight from the villa up the mountainside to a chapel perched in a very peaceful valley high up the hillside. it's close to Chania and Rethymno, both beautiful cities and has a wonderful little village with a shop, cafe and fuel station (you will need a car rental). there is also another slightly larger village a few kilometers east where I had my final evenings dinner by the river with the geese. so amazing. I will certainly be returning to explore more of the island...I was there for 10 days and only got a glimpse of it. one top tip...prevelli beach and the palm forest. it's a must.
thanks Nikos for being an incredible host and allowing me to spend time in your wonderful villas.
