I had a great time at Jannis’s place! He was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed chatting together when he was around, and he had great suggestions for excursions in the nearby mountains and local beaches. The place itself was nice. I really enjoyed the coziness of the wood stove (December visit), views of the mountains on both sides, the fully equipped kitchen to cook for myself and daily outdoor visits from the neighbourhood cats. The village has a tranquil vibe and is not overly touristic. A great place if you are looking for authentic Crete. The location is ideal: 40 minutes to Rethymno, 15 minutes to stunning Triopetra Beach, and lots of great gorge and mountain day hikes in the area. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
