If you want a taste of traditional Crete, this is the place for you!
We spent a week here for our honeymoon and fell in love with Crete, and the place we stayed just enhanced the whole experience. We were met on arrival by Anna and Kostas, who made sure we were settled in and had everything we needed. The house is absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean, and gives you a real sense of what it was like to live in real rural Crete. The beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning efficient. The terrace in the garden is an amazing place where we spent a lot of time taking in the views of the mountains.
Worthy of mention is the Aptera Taverna in the village, just a short walk down the hill - the food is authentic, home cooked Cretan food, simple but so, so tasty. Its of reasonable price, as are the drinks. Wine by the litre in carafes was a winner for us!
Annas house is in a great location to explore, but there is no public transport to the village, so you will need a car. We hired one from a local company at a much lower price than the big names. Ancient Aptera is a few kilometres walk from the house, and is well worth a visit, and there is so much history and culture nearby.
We cannot thank Anna and Kostas enough for making our stay a memorable one, and we will definitely be returning again next year :-)
