We had a great time in Sofia's and Antonis' little retreat between the olive trees. Antonis was there to welcome us late on the night of our arrival, both are very friendly and were always available for questions. They filled our fridge for the first day so that we could have breakfast without going to the supermarket first. The houses are a great choice particularly for people who care for outstanding modern architecture and a sense of minimal design, they also offer a great view of the surrounding mountains and the sea. The area has a lot to offer, although we really did not enjoy the kind of mass tourism that you find especially around places like Balos beach, Elafonisi or even Chania – we were always glad to return to the peace and solitude of the house. You should not be scared of the (small kind of) wildlife though, there are ants of course and we also had a small scorpion in the bathroom and a rat visiting us on the balcony, but all encounters were harmless. :)
