Staying at George’s place provided us with an wonderful opportunity to experience life in a traditional Crete village.
We loved the location and Elounda.
The villa has been renovated and looks beautiful however living in a traditional stone home in traditional village requires some adjustment;
* Parking is available, but there is a 50m uphill climb from the parking spot to the villa;
* sleeping in can be challenging as there is no way to darken the sleeping area;
* the shower is hand held which makes washing your hair tricky and the water pressure varies greatly.
* the internet wasn’t working when we arrived and wasn’t working for the duration of our 4 night stay.
And we enjoyed our stay very much. The few remaining local villagers were friendly, greeting us with a smile and few friendly words in Greek each time we saw them.
There is a local tavern within a very short walk of the villa that serves GOOD food and is open late for a drink after a day of sight seeing. Both my partner & I agreed it served the best food we had eaten during our 2 week visit to Crete. Find the tavern was an expected bonus at staying at George’s.
We loved the experience of staying in the villa and recommend it to others wanting to experience something different.
