If you are looking for a genuine experience in Crete, a place surrounded by mostly locals where the mountain meets the sea, look no further, Malibu’s seaside house is the place for you. We spent around 12 days in the cute little fishermen house a few feets away from the sea where we got to watch sunsets drinking local wine while goats roam on the beach. Malous house has all the basic required necessities so that you don’t need to go back and forth to the store constantly. Her mother even welcomed us with a lovely fresh baked cake, local wine, fruits and honey and eggs as well as quite a few refreshments. The air conditioning in the upstairs bedroom was a blessing as temperatures rose quite a bit while we were there. Should you decide to stay for more then 3 or 4 days you will have the opportunity to meet some of the people living in the village and quickly get a feel of the village atmosphere. The only issue we had (and has nothing to do with Malous house) was the road to the village. It is steep and very sinuous. Although the road is in excellent condition it is not for the faint of heart. But I guess that’s what keeps the hordes of tourists away and make this place so genius. I strongly recommend it.
