Mikes place is amazing. We stayed here for two nights so we could enjoy the peace and tranquility. A short drive of 5 minutes to the entrance to Samaria Gorge where you can park. We walked the whole route in 5 hours to Agli Roumeli. Currently there is one ferry to Sougia at 17:30 and the a bus from Sougia at 18:15 brings you back to the beginning.
At night it’s a little cooler and we enjoyed the fire and cooking a nice dinner. The house has everything you need, I loved the washing machine after hiking all day!
We were given a wonderful warm welcome from Mike and his wife. They had prepaid snacks and raki for us. They also left us local oil, grapes, wine and eggs which were a lovely treat.
Highly recommend and hope to return sometime.
