We were two families with two children and spend a week in Lena’s house. The villa is specious and comfortable. Pool was nice and clean. The house is in a remote location so you do need a car for everything, but you are in a less touristy and quiet spot of Crete and you can reach most of the top attractions within an hour drive.
It’s about 15min drive to the nearest beach and 45min to Rhetymno town.
It’s also easy to go to the mountains.
