We spent four nights at the Estates and while the weather was most uncooperative we had an amazing time. From daily local tastes of Crete to a very comfortable covered patio from which to watch the storms we were relaxed and very comfortable. Crete may be my new favorite place on earth, and while Sougia is a bit remote, the mountains are fabulous and George and Marianna couldn't be more helpful. If you want to hike you can be sure to find challenging terrain, but if you just want to relax with delightful people, you can also do that! We will come back to Crete, and when we do, we will return to Sougia!
