A perfect home base for our family vacation. The house was spacious for four and the view was spectacular, making it a fantastic place to relax after exploring the ruins and beaches of Crete. Our kids adored the pack of cats that were constantly hanging around - unfortunately the cats made it impossible to eat on the patio but not a big sacrifice for happy kids. The host was extremely responsive and friendly. Definitely need a car and the approach is steep, so be aware if you rent a stick shift. Walk to a couple of beaches and drive everywhere else.
