we spent some amazing days in jannis' house in late october. our drive to akoumia started off with a bit of stress with the car rental in heraklion, but jannis was flexible about the check-in time and very nice and comforting on the phone. the house surpassed our expectations on every level. it's extremely spacious, nicely decorated and, most of all, well-equipped. the kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and you can eat on the porch or on the rooftop, and on top of it, jannis gave us some homegrown fruit and vegetables, olive oil, rakí, and homemade vinegar. akoumia is a sweet village, nicely situated between spili and agia galini, but we preferred the smaller villages and beaches along the coast (jannis' recommendations). our stay at jannis' definitely spoiled us for the next Airbnb's we visited – it will be hard to get on his level!
