Vangos's place is paradise. We arrived and greeted by Vangos, a genuinely lovely man, with amazing feta, bread and raki and a warm and friendly welcome. He had provided some basic provisions and bottle of wine, and throughout our stay gave us great advice about what to see and the best beaches to spend an afternoon. The villa is beautiful, and so well renovated combining the ancient history of the Minoan grotto with all the modern conveniences and comfort you would hope for. Crete is so beautiful and the people so friendly, and the food is superb. Vangos encouraged us to use produce from the vegetable plot and fantastic range of herbs which we were very happy to! Both pools were beautiful and Vangos popped by every couple of days to clean them and water the garden. We also took advantage of the local taverna - excellent food and great beers! I could not recommend this place more highly. We will be back! Rob and family.
