This was hands down the best air bnb experience my friends and I have ever had, and we travel quite a bit. Where to even being.
Georgio is the kindest and most accommodating host that I have ever met. He was always around to answer questions and gave us the best recommendations. Upon arrival, he treated us with raki and pastries and gave us the warmest greeting. He showed us around the villa which was just beautiful. Sparkling clean, everything functions perfectly, with all the amenities you would ever need including free parking. The pool was one of the highlight features, especially with the heat in August, we used it day and night.
Aside from the villa itself, we all fell in love with Atispopoulo itself. The town is so charming and although it's small it literally has everything you could ever need. Another highlight for us was going to the festival held in town for the Greek holiday Dormition of the Mother of God (Aug15). It was an amazing and authentic experience filled with music, dancing, food and drinks with all the locals in Atsipopoulo. We even saw Georgies family at the festival and they embraced us like we were family. Everyone that we met in the town was so nice and would give us gifts of food and drinks. It was a very special experience.
The location was also fantastic for what our trip was. We rented a car to do many day trips. Since we were not in the city we never experienced traffic leaving the villa and were very close to the main highway/road which made driving to our destinations seamless. Rethymnon is also very close so if you are craving a beach or shopping, it's only about 10 minutes away. Crete is a beautiful island, and the best way to explore it is by car which makes this location perfect.
All in all, I cannot recommend this stay enough, I wouldn't have changed a single thing. I was perfect! Thank you so much Georgios!!
