Well, perhaps it’s the feel of normality, simply traveling again, but this place is why Airbnb works so well. This credit to the hosts. It’s such a joy, to visit another country, when you get to stay at places like this. It feels like a home, owners are next door, you live locally, in a snapshot of Crete life in this particular spot. So great having two mini markets (we like the left one the most, carries fresh milk) and a restaurant (Kouliérēs) around the corner. Two different, but great beaches around, via nice short walks through the neighborhood. We ate many times at Almyriki, which is the best food around, has a nice view, and good coffee as well. It’s more expensive, but absolutely worth it. Also Taverna Irene, a short drive away, we loved. And the Kalathas Beach for its waves. But the house, the garden, the terrace and the trees, the grass. The kindness of the hosts. My wife and our 2 year old son loved it. Me too! Absolutely a recommended stay, and close to the airport as well.
Hope to come back!
