Katerina’s apartment is charming- large, airy and nicely decorated with her own craftwork. There is a good size kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet. Although there isn’t a separate bedroom there is a nice large sitting and dining area and also an outside sitting space. Katerina met us and kindly gave us a copy of her book on traditional Cretan cooking- she lives on the third floor but was quite sick during our stay so we hardly saw her.
It is located in a traditional Cretan village perched on the side of the mountain just outside Archanes. There is a great local taverna and also a little convenience store in the village and Archanes, which has a lot of restaurants, is about a 10-minute drive away. You do need a car. We were sorry to leave and would certainly stay longer next time.
