Konstantis' place is simple, cozy and clean, and has all you need for relaxed days in an idyllic spot in Crete. Wonderfully peaceful, with the sea and the waves right at your door to start and end the day. As others have mentioned, the drive down and up will take its toll on a small car, but it's doable and there were no problems (and it's worth it!). Next time I'd opt for a 4x4 though. Loved the village of Ai Giannis and there are gorgeous hikes - as long and as short as you like - from there. I had the feeling that Odysseus probably walked through landscapes such as this. Numerous secluded beaches (check out Katarti, which is tiny, isolated and lovely, and a very nice 3 hour walk from the village) where submarines apparently picked up soldiers in WWII in the deep waters close to the beach. Great rock climbing options in the area too - though for more advanced climbers with trad gear. Also the local taverna is very special, with hearty home cooked meals, great wine and olive oil, and a lovely lady running the place. Overall wonderful and I'd love to come back!
