Aris met us at the airport and gave us a very warm welcome. His property was spotlessly clean and well appointed and on our arrival the fridge was stocked with water, wine, bread and cheese; coffee and other essential cooking materials were also provided. The location is beautiful though you will need a car to get around and sight see. We were lucky in that our arrival coincided with a three day village festival and Aris was very keen to introduce us to Cretan life and traditions, including lamb cooked in the traditional way, local wines and honey, and products of local crafts. Aris and his family were proud of their island and keen to suggest places we should visit within our one week stay. We had an enjoyable stay: the house is stylish, both inside and outside, and the comfortable beds with clean, crisp bed linen (together with the air conditioning) ensured that we slept well. Thank you Aris and Maria for your wonderful hospitality.
