The most heartwarming experience, and and an absolute treasure of a location, both with scenery , people and food! We have to say the food in town was some of the very best we had our 4 weeks in Crete, so we could not help ourselves from going to some of the same places two or three times. And our favorite bakery pretty much just below the apartment we ate breakfast at every day, and bought pies to take to the beach for lunch. They were incredibly kind and gave us complimentary coffee several times,and offered to give us things to take home. We were just too shy to accept it all,we couldn't let them give us even more. One other favorite was despina Cafe, that was a must go every chance you get. The coffee is lovely, the cakes are astounding and the service is heartwarming and familiar in the best possible way. We also have to make sure to mention that Stravroula and Elenis air bnb had the most comfy room we had in Crete, very quiet, with new mattresses and aircon! Also great views on the balcony and a full kitchen. If one was to want to stay for long stays like a month it would also work out great. As soon as we arrived we regretted not booking more days. Even from the very positive description we did not fully realize how much of a gem that whole town is, and even after 17 days prior in other lovely places in Crete this was the most complete booking for us. Just everything we could want, amazingly caring and flexible host(not surprisingly Stravroula also has an absolutely wonderful mother who with only few words of English is still able to communicate with us who did not speak Greek in a way that we were so well taken care of. She was so expressively enthusiastic about greeting us and checking up on our needs everyday. She even surprised us with huge pieces of tasty birthday cake on my boyfriends birthday) Because of SAS canceled our flight because of strike Stavroula quickly assured us she would help in any way, and so we ended up staying 4 extra days. We litteraly got stranded in paradise. We actually had the best communication with Stavroula long before we even arrived so it felt like we were staying with family. The care and detail she has shown us, not least as first time expectant parents, was completely reassuring and just so thoughtful. When we left we were given very personal gifts, some even home made, not just for me but for our child that arrives in 4,5 moths. We had no ideStavroula makes lovely jewelry herself, but it was such a wonderful surprise! All in all we give our biggest recommendations! We will love to come back in the future ❤️🙏
