The house is quietly situated and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay with the family. The view of the distant bay from the living room and balcony is beautiful and you have several sunny and shady balconies and terraces. The garden is huge and the pool is an added highlight! The nearby mini-market allows for quick provisioning of daily necessities. The towns in the area have great tavernas. And the house is a very good base to explore Crete - provided you hire a car - to return to the quiet, relaxed atmosphere after your excursion. Eivind is an excellent host. He provided us with lots of useful information about the area and nice places to visit and we felt very comfortable!
