Were I to give a single reason to make a second visit to Crete, it would be to stay once more in the delightful 100 years old cottage, in this family for generations, provided for me by Pamela and Emmanuel, my warm and generous hosts. Sensitively preserved and carefully maintained, this lovely stone building was my home for 8 days. Much as I enjoyed all my daily trips to different parts of this historic and breathtakingly wonderful island, I was always eager to return each evening to my cosy and comfortable hideaway. Any description does not do it justice; one just has to experience the sheer pleasure of being its resident for a few days, preferably longer. Situated in a tiny lane, one of a network that forms this enchanting village. Both neighbourhood and neighbours contribute to the delights of this holiday location.
