If you are looking for an authentic experience in Crete, this is the place to stay! Quaint little house in the mountains & close to local village! We only stayed 2 nights, which I stayed longer! Julie was great, we met her while checking out, directions given where great (not easy to find if you have never been). The house is up the hill & need to have a small car to navigate through roads & parking! We ventured out to the village the last night & found a great restaurant, also markets for fruits & food. The beach is 5 minutes away, you pass by on your way. All in all, a great place to stay!
