Sougia is a wonderful village on the south coast of Crete and a perfect home base for hiking the Samaria Gorge and chilling at the beach. Deluxe apartment is in the remote country town of Moni, which is literally just minutes away from Sougia and the sea! It's the perfect place to stay in the area. We were stunned by the beautiful mountain view and grateful for the hospitality extended by George and his staff. This place has all the modern luxuries of a fine hotel. Being here during the financial crisis has been interesting, but should not deter tourists from visiting and supporting the greek economy... come here... enjoy this beautiful place, country, and amazing people!
