If you want a Cretan mountain village experience, you can’t get much better than this place. It’s an old house that has been fixed up but still feels like an antique wonder. We loved being up in the mountains, where it was cool and quiet and offered a respite from the relative craziness of Xania. The nearby hikes are amazing and the tavernas close by are much better than you’d expect as the village gets a number of tourists during the day. If you have little kids, prep them for the bees as this town has a LOT of hives and some are right by the house. Also if you forget to put on your pants when going to the bathroom you will be giving the village square a show due to the location and outdoor bathroom. Overall an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience we hope to repeat again one day!
