Authentic Crete! The host family was very kind and gracious. We were greeted by a basket of local treats: olive oil, tea, olives, a bottle of wine, and fresh watermelon. Homemade cake was shared later in the week, delicious. Everything was clean and tidy, very charming, cozy, and private. Location couldn't have been better across the street from the beach and around the corner from grocery store, bakery, car rental, and bus stop. Short walk to cliff side restaurants with amazing sunset views. We felt like we were living with the locals and staying with tourists. Beautiful family garden with lots of quiet seating areas, perfect for relaxing out of the sun. Hot was extremely accessible and arranged taxi rides. Highly recommend!
