The little house on the prairie is an incredible experience. Yes it is about 25 mins drive (through mountain roads) to get to Chania, but the drive is worth the experience. It truly is paradise in the mountains of Crete! I would advise to bring groceries on your visit as it is still about 25 mins to the nearest store. If you want something off the beaten path that is an immaculate, beautiful place to stay and swim (the pool is spectacular!) then this is your place. It is definitely great if you want to experience the Cretan country side away from any tourists. I would advise renting a car if you are staying here. Eleni was also so incredibly helpful and understanding of when we arrived and also of when we accidentally broke something in the house. She also helped us rent a car! It was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone.
