We absolutely loved our stay in Irini's villa, she is the perfect host/concierge. Irini met us the day we checked in and arranged for our car, a scuba diving trip for my husband and son (bucket list material there) and reserved a seaside table for us right on the sea! Her recommendations for beaches and restaurants were spot on.
The house is beautiful, with 4 balconies and a pool; the pictures don't do it justice. The villa is surrounded by an olive grove that is roamed by goats and chickens. The town is quiet, but there are 2 very good tavernas within 100 feet of the front door. We tried both and the food was great. The people are also very friendly. I even bought fruit from a huckster driving down the street, and of course, it was fresh and delicious.
I didn't know what to expect on Crete, but I wish we'd been able to stay longer. Our experience at the villa and with Irini was fabulous, and I can't say enough good things about it. I'll definitely stay here again if I ever visit Crete again!
