This is hands down one of the best experiences we've ever had on AirBnb. We stayed at Elina's house (/converted 19th century family mansion) in Pefki for a month, and we were heartbroken to leave!
The village is stunning and overlooks the gorge with a view all the way down to the sea. The locals are so friendly, and Antonis and Elina took great care of us during our stay. Driving up and down the twisting mountain roads around Pefki was easy and a lot of fun, and the views were astonishing. Everyday we were in awe! If you want to experience genuine Crete - this is THE spot. We are already contemplating buying our own little place in Pefki.
The house was wonderful and had everything necessary for the most comfortable stay. We used the orange press nearly every day for fresh orange juice, and would drink it on one of the three terraces, following the sun! Thank you Elina! We cannot wait to be back.
