We had an incredible stay at the Kanakakis homes. The home is clean and new with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The house is in a private location.
Sophia and her whole family are great hosts and took fantastic care to ensure that we were comfortable during our stay. The pool offers relief from the heat by day, and the mountain air provides a fresh breeze at night. If that's not enough, the house has AC.
The location is just outside the hustle and bustle of Rethymno, about half way between Chania and Heraklion.
The nearby village of Atsipopoulo (5 mins by car) offers services like grocery stores, an ATM, restaurants and a pharmacy.
I would recommend this home without hesitation. You will need a car to get around from here.
