Everything was perfect. We loved the location, only 5 minutes drive to Falassarna beach, a beautiful, clean and tranquil beach - my favourite of all the beaches we saw. All the tavernas we tried were great. The setting of the house is tranquil and natural. We felt so much at peace, so relaxed and time stood still for the 5 days we spent there. Close by are a couple nice markets where we bought all the things we needed. BTW, the milk in Crete tastes amazing (Fage brand). Balos beach is about 30 minutes drive or you can take a ferry from the port of Kissamos and save the tires on your car. Elafonisi was about an hour scenic drive, but my husband drove pretty fast. Basilis was really great, he answered every question. Aris, is the sweetest and cutest dog. More than anything we fell in love with Poppy, Basilis' mother. She was simply kind and warm and we truly felt at home. I am dreaming of the day we get to go back.
