We stayed here for 3 nights at the start of our holiday in Crete. It was a great location to get to some interesting areas - less than half an hour from the airport, 15 mins from Knossos, we drove to the south coast for a walk and swim along the wild coast, and headed west to Zaros for a gorge walk.
The village is very small and quiet but gives a good feeling of Crete. We ate in the taverna next door one night and had a really delicious meal. We also went to Arhanes one morning for coffee, sat in the square and did some shopping. Montserrat was very helpful in answering our queries and we appreciated the fruit left for us when we arrived. Georgios met us from the airport when we arrived. That was a blessing as our flight was delayed and the car hire had closed. Georgios helped us out so a huge thanks to him.
