We couldn’t have picked a better location or a better home away from home. The house is pristine, pictures don’t do it justice. The patio is large and comfortable and private. Melina made sure we had drinks, snacks upon arrival and our hosts went out of their way to get us to her place when we were embarrassingly lost! The location is right by a plaza of coffee shops, bars and restaurants and the local community. Even though Greeks keep late hours and party til 4:) we couldn’t hear a thing at our place when we wanted to get to sleep. Yet the crowd was there if we wanted to join! Super close to the harbor, within a couple minutes walk you’re at the best eating establishments and shopping of Crete. It’s awesome to be right in the local neighborhood, yet right by the tourist spots and near to action, yet have an escape to privacy! We loved every minute and we were sad to leave such an oasis!!! I would give tips on places to dine but we ate at a different place for 15 meals and EVERY restaurant was a gem!! How often can you say that? You can’t go wrong! Drink a frappe at the harbor, eat some lamb, eat the local yoghurt and honey, and soak it all up!
