We loved this old stone house. The absolute highlight is obviously the covered terrace with a magnificent view of the bay (and great sunsets). All communications with the owner and Michael were superfast and helpful. Check-in was fast and very friendly, including several suggestions on what to do, where to shop and eat.
Almyrida is a relatively quiet town (especially in late September of Covid-19 year 2020. There are a number of restaurants at the beach front (The recommended Elia&Thyme had already closed for the season, but Psaros offered really good fish, mussels, prawns and a good slection of wines)
You definitely need a car to get to the house and explore the area. The driveway to the house is a dirt road with a very sharp turn at the end -- some people may have issues with this, but we love driving on the back roads of Crete; so no problem here.
There were only two of us and, thus, the house is really spacious. Just the bathroom is really tiny.
A really quiet getaway place! And did we mention the fabulous view ;-) ?
