Our 10-days-stay in Niki and Herosimos’ house was absolutely wonderful: the quiet and fresh of the hills together with the possibility to reach easily the wonderful western Cretan beaches.
Pappadiana is a typical Cretan country village clinging on the side of the hill, the route to/from the parking is a bit steep but easy to walk, even for our 8-years-old son.
The house has everything one may need and it’s really cosy, it is plunged in a true natural beauty with the smell of fruits in the air, the song of the cicadas all around, chickens giving fresh eggs: an exceptional experience. The village of Kefali nearby is small but nice as well, we had many tasty dinners at the Tavernas there.
During our stay we visited Elafonissi (several times, very easy to reach in really 20 minutes), Falasarna, Paleochora, Balos, Kissamos but it was very pleasant to linger in the small garden in Pappadiana, as well.
Our hosts were very caring and lovely with us and with our boy who liked the holiday as much as we did. They welcomed us with many treats and they gave us many useful suggestions for our trips in the island.
If you want a holiday in a very typical and welcoming atmosphere we highly recommend this house!
Thank you a lot Niki and Herosimos for an unforgettable holyday! We wait for you in Italy :-)
