It has only been 8 hours since we checked out of this dream house, and I miss the place already. The home is as advertised; the house is spotless, modern and the location is quaint and authentic that for 8 days I felt Greek. It was home away from home because it was equipped with everything you needed - even a crib. Despoina greeted and welcomed us so warmly. I watched many sunsets from the terrace and was surprised to see blue water as well. Around the corner is Babi's Taverna which felt like an extension of the house with its Cretan food where I was introduced to mizithra and now I'm obsessed with it. Modi town is lovely and just minutes away from the small town of Gerani with cafes and restaurants. If you want to be a little closer to the popular must see beaches (Balos, Falassarna, Elafonissi), and have a relaxing place for your holiday, I highly recommend Thrasivoulo's Family Country House.
