OUTSTANDING! If you want a traditional Cretan experience, the West side of the island is where you want to be. It is quiet and peaceful.
Elofonisi Beach (pink sand beach) is about 15 a minute drive. Make sure you rent a car and spend at least 3-4 days so you can tour the island because this is the biggest island in Greece. Many do not know that Crete is mountainous which means lots of curvy roads and it takes time to get places. It is worth your time! Maria’s home is beautiful and she made us moussaka for our arrival.
We loved our trip to Crete!
Thank you Maria!
