If you are looking for a unique experience in a beautiful country, this is a great choice! We booked our trip to Crete around this location. Our hosts were lovely and very welcoming. They were incredibly flexible with check in and check out. The beaches are very nearby and the restaurant Gramvousa is within one block. (DELICIOUS food and great sunset spot!) There is a small balcony at the airbnb that is a great place to read or watch the sunrise. All the details of the cave make for an exceptional experience.
