This little converted stone house in Chora Sfakion is impeccably decorated, immaculate, appointed with everything you might need (pots/pans, electric kettle, juicer, little toiletries) as well as all the add-ons you that make a stay extra special (candles, comfortable and well-decorated indoor/outdoor space, air conditioning, beautiful coffee table books about Crete, wine, fresh mountain greens, melons, lemons, eggs available from the garden!) Damulius, the host, is a laid back guy with great energy (he felt akin to some of our friends in Southern California!) One morning I awoke to the sound of so many bells and headed out to see what the clatter was - so many goats just meandering by! It was an ethereal experience!
During our stay we rented a boat from Notos Mare and had a wonderful experience working with Sofia. We headed to the beaches only accessible by boat (Ag. Roumeli, Glyka Nera, Marmara) and had delicious Octopus by the sea at the tavern in Marmara. We hiked Aradena Gorge from top to bottom which was an easy downhill hike that took us about 3hrs - gorgeous and quiet!
Overall our experience in Chora Sfakion was beautiful - our only gripe is that we didn't stay longer!
