The house is really authentic in a Cretean village with friendly people all around. There is a great terrace to have breakfast. You can find anything you need for a simple way of living and for cooking a meal. It's a bit colder in the mountains but there are additional blankets in case you need them. In summer it's probably the best. Its easy to get around and visit the east of Crete by car from Lithines. Thanos is really friendly and a great host!
