Michail's house, Lithari, is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. The terrace has wonderful views of the white mountains and the house is beautiful throughout. The kitchen was well equipped. The whole house was very clean. Michail provided delicious local honey, olive oil, bread and raki for us when we arrived.
Michail was very easy to communicate with. Every time we contacted him he responded very quickly and was very keen to so everything he could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. For example we noticed in the photos there wasn't a table and chairs on the terrace which we could easily eat at, so he arranged for one to be there when we arrived. He went out of his way to help us with other things too, such as helping transfer some CDs onto our laptop.
Michail was very helpful in recommending local places to eat and find supermarkets and local beaches etc. The local taverna ~ Aetofolia in Samonas ~ has excellent food and is great value. We also really liked Kournas Lake.
Overall Lithari is a very relaxing place to get away from it all and explore Western Crete. We woke up each morning to the sound of the cicadas.
Thank you for making us feel at home.
