We had an amazing stay at Eleni’s house and would recommend to anyone travelling to Crete.
Hospitality - Eleni greeted us with fresh fruit, Ouzi, Cretan wine juice, water and food and some lovely hand crafted gifts that she had made. Eleni is SO hospitable, kind and very easily reachable for any questions. She & her husband are very caring, they even came with me when I needed a quick trip to the hospital so they could help translate!
House - fitted with all the amenities you would need (and more!) we were travelling with a young baby but Eleni had everything (cot,bath, high chair, steriliser, bibs! Etc) lovely balconies to sit watching the view. Cooking facilities. Cool with a great breeze so we didn’t miss any aircon. Eleni also has fans too if you need them.
Location - Beautiful scenery and surroundings, the house is in the olive groves and you can see the mountains watching the sunset. The house is a close drive off the main road that goes right through Crete so easy enough to get anywhere. We actually drove all the way from Chania airport, in 2hrs but Heraklion is closest at only 15mins away. Rental car is a must and we explored the amazing beaches nearby (most only a 10-20 min drive) with clean sand and clear water. Close to Lidl, and local supermarkets. Heraklion is great for eating out too. Our tips are in her guestbook! ;)
Thank you again, Eleni!
