Our flight was delayed so we arrived much later than intended, but Pamela so kindly waited up for us and showed us the lovely studio, which was bigger than we expected, and wonderfully decorated and equipped with lovely homemade olive oil, wine and raki, plus a lovely greek salad and some bits and piece for breakfast the next day, which we loved eating on our big balcony.

Pamela was such a wonderful host, she lent us snorkels to use at the beach and one of our highlights was going with her to the mountains one day where we had a wonderful traditional Cretan meal in a taverna. We only wish we could have hung out more.

Pamela arranged a rental car for us, which was very useful but as we'd never driven on the right side before -took a couple of days to get used to! Worth bearing in mind if you do rent in Crete that there are some rather 'enthusiastic' drivers around! But we did get to see a lot of things that maybe we wouldn't have otherwise.

Overall, wonderful place, wonderful hosts :)
