Myself and my partner stayed at Katoi for a week. We found the accommodation to be amazing, it was so beautiful inside the cave and outside. There was a lovely balcony with a lovely view where we had our breakfast most days. The weather was beautiful while we were there and the cave is nice and cool.
Kaliviani village is lovely and the restaurants were definitely worth visiting.
Elina was on vacation at the time of our stay, so we were greeted by Nasia who was very welcoming. Nasia left us leaflets, maps and information for various places to visit and do while in Crete.
She also left us lots of local treats, such as honey and Kaki wine etc.
We would absolutely love to come back, its definitely worth a visit.
Car is definitely recommended though, just to visit the surrounding towns and beaches etc.
