Pitsidia is my favorite traditional village in Kriti. It is quiet and filled with the kindest people. Maria and her two daughters are the best hosts you will ever find. The apartment is perfectly suited for a couple or solo traveler and I adore it. I spend hours on the spacious balcony looking at the sea and mountains and watering the plants. I make full use of the kitchen frequently, although the local restaurants are better! I can walk to Kommos beach, drive 5 minutes to Matala, or stay in and wander around the village. The flat is impeccably clean and you need nothing. The bed is so comfortable, I sleep like a baby. And bc of the location, even in July, I have never needed the a/c once: the natural breeze and wind are glorious. Please don’t tell anyone. I will be heartbroken if Maria’s apartment is not available when I return.
