We had such a peacefully days at Sises, a small town in the mid-mountains of Crete with a kind and calm atmosphere. The apartment of Irini and Nikos was really nice, better than it looks in the pictures, with a nice terrace and view to the valley. We had everything that we need for our holidays.
The location is good, but I recommend to have a car if you want to visit different beaches or cities; even though we use the public transport, that works. Also, is it possible to hitchhike, since the town is half way between Heraklion and Rethymno.
