I loved staying here. The home has such character and great personal touches. It’s about 20 minutes from elfonisi beach, about 1hr 20 minutes from balos lagoon and 1hr 15 minutes from chaina. If you want to hike the Samaria gorge you can drive a lil over an hour to sougia and take the bus to the gorge which takes about and hour. Then at the bottom of the gorge take the ferry 40 minutes back to sougia. Giannis very responsive and helpful if you need anything.
