For the discerning visitor to Crete, the airy and spacious home of Georgios and Eleni is perfect. Set amongst vine and olive fields, with a healthy fruit and vegetable garden on site from which to collect your daily meals, this peaceful haven provides an authentic Cretan experience. This is where Georgios grew up, so his neighbours are yours and the local village is quite special. It's difficult to decide whether to harvest the garden's food for a meal or drive to a local village to restaurants that this very caring couple refer you too. All the winding drives and secret balconies to which you are sent, reveal the special places that they enjoy to eat as locals; places you would never find on tripadvisor. Truly kind and very helpful, I was mindful of how we treated their special home, as they have invested so much love and care into it. Adventurous drives in all directions take you to different coastlines and the hidden jewels of Crete, but it was always lovely to return to this peaceful place, with lots of space for my children to find a spot in which to read and chat. I have used airbnb often, and this is my best experience yet.
