We had a wonderful two weeks holiday at Fotis’ place. The house has stunning views, is very stylish and finished to a high standard with some great features. It being 32°C every day, we particularly appreciated having A/C in each room and the automated shutters.
The village itself is very peaceful with lots of walks nearby, a café runn by the charming Lucky and Rebecca and a small waterfall that’s perfect for a quick, refreshing dip. Nearby Paleochora has a lovely, relaxed feel – great beach, plenty of good tavernas and a couple of small supermarkets. Galiskieri and Grammeno are also worth visiting. Recommend Taverna Temenia, Methexis and Taverna Grammeno for particularly good food.
We had a couple of minor technical issues on arrival but Fotis got them fixed quickly. To echo some previous reviews, it would be handy to have an info pack and the kitchen utensils were a bit sparse for anyone that is serious about their cooking but those are minor quibbles. We can highly recommend Fotis’ place and Crete as a destination – fabulous landscape, lovely, genuine people and delicious food. What’s not to love?
