Katerina and her mum were fantastic hosts! The house is beautiful, and is located in a cute and quiet little village close to Kissamos. We received a lovely welcome in the house consisting of fruit and vegetables, honey, olive oil, figs, olives and rakia. Katerina’s mum Ellie kept bringing us fruit and eggs and other goodies throughout our stay, which was unbelievably sweet of her. The village is easy enough to get to by car on a good quality road. It only takes about 3 minutes to drive to Kissamos where you may find plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes, large, well stocked supermarket and many smaller convenience stores including butchers, fish shop etc. Everyone in Kissamos speaks English and all the people were very friendly. We did not encounter any problems or unpleasantness during our two week stay. The kitchen in the house is well equipped for preparing most meals and the barbecue in the garden is a great bonus and we made use of it several times. The location is very quiet and it was great to just sit on the terrace in the evening and relax with a nice meal and a bottle of wine and unwind. At the same time, the location is convenient for visiting some really beautiful beaches and other sites including Chania with a beautiful, historical centre, only half an hour’s drive.
Overall, if you are looking for a quiet place to relax, it is definitely worth a visit. We hope to come back next year and will be recommending the place to our family and friends.
