This was our 4th time vacationing on Crete and this was the best accommodation we've experienced! The home is lovely, spacious and private - situated in the town of Sivas, whose residents were warm and welcoming. Lots to do in the area and the hiking was terrific - long walks among olive groves and up hills with grand vistas over looking the wide Messara Plain. Likewise the beaches are close! The home itself was perfect - situated in town with a 20 second walk to a number of excellent restaurants. If you want a memorable vacation, this is the place to stay. HIGHLY recommended.
