In August 2022 we stayed in the stunning Casa Arokaria for a week. This beautiful farmhouse is located in an idyllic orange and lemon forest nearby Chania. Great local restaurants, wineries, a craft beer brewery and the botanical garden are all nearby. The house is ca. 10 min away from the the main road of Crete and thus one can easily go after the best beaches in Crete.
Kovi is the best host - she made us feel at home and she is very helpfull and responsive. She gave us great local tipps and answered all our questions and requests in no time.
Kovi and Grandma were very generous and kind and we tried some of the best home-made foods and drinks. We also learned some Greek! Thanks to them we not only visited Crete, but had one of the best travel experiences!
The house is fully equiped and decorated with great taste and detail. The main terrace offers great mountain view and one can spend hours there. Wi-Fi is perfect, there are beach umbrellas as well as a great grill area one can use. Parking is also provided.
At the end we felt like leaving our own home, but Kovi made us a great goodbye gift to keep the memory until next time!
We are deffinately coming back and recommend Casa Arokaria to anyone visiting Crete!
Bonus - the rooftop is perfect for star gazing and in clear weather you can see the Milky Way!
Eυχαριστώ, Kovi!
