This beautiful little house in Lastros was the perfect writer's respite for me during my two week stay in Crete. It is a beautiful, authentic dwelling in a beautiful quiet village among the steep and powerful mountains of East Crete; I drove all over the East and Central island, and this was still my favorite spot, away from the bustle, near the deep blue waters and so many incredible archaeological sites. The whole process and experience of staying in this beautiful house was perfect from start to finish-- Pantelis and Giorgos were wonderful, accommodating, and kind. I loved opening my shutters every morning to see the mountains, and I basically lived outside on the lovely porch. Couldn't have been better!
