We stayed with Niki for one week and having used airbnb for three years I can say that Niki was truly our best host and her cottage was amazing! Everything inside the cottage was done to a beautiful standard and the views and back porch made for an incredibly rustic, picture perfect holiday. This listing is perfect for a quiet little getaway to a quieter part of Crete with plenty of good beaches and tavernas available. The local town has two tavernas that are within walking distance and you can get some groceries from them too. Otherwise, most other destinations do require a 20-40min commute so this is a remote destination for a holiday but that suited us perfectly. Some of the surrounding mountain roads can get a little tricky but they are all safe if you just drive slowly. Elafonisi was a nice beach close by but if you go there do make sure to go for a short walk down the coast to getaway from the crowds and the nearby 'Sunset' restaurant was amazing. You won't be disappointed and once again thank you for your lovely hospitality Niki!
