Ioanna's place is exactly is described in her posting. We were beyond happy with the place - clean, beautiful, amazing view and overall wonderful! The home is situated atop the hills of Old Platanias and is close walk to the beaches and restaurants, and the supermarket (5-10 minute walk). If you want to explore other parts of Crete, I'd recommend renting a car as Balos Lagoon is approximately 45 minutes away and Elafonisi beach being 1.5 hours away. Overall, what a wonderful, immaculate and beautiful home. I definitely recommend staying here.
