We choose this wonderfull place in Katalagari to explore Crete with our own car, it's the perfect "basecamp" to visit a lot of interesting places in the area. Also the beaches are close but if you want to stay in Montserrat's beautifull house you DO need a car ;-)
We had a very warm welcome from Giorgios, a very good friend of Montserrat, who showed us the house and gave a lot of tips for excursions. This guy is really amazing and fantastic!!! We also met Montserrat who is a very warm, kind and nice lady. She also gave us a very warm welcome and lots of tips. You can ask her anything...
We also spend a wonderfull evening with Montserrat and a friend in the tavern next door were you can eat delicious home cooked traditional meals and the owners are amazing!
The house is very clean and everything you need for a perfect holiday is there. The view in the mountains was stunning. We also slept like babies :-)
It was very important for us to go back to the essence and in this village we found it.
The contact with the real Greek people was fantastic, we had very nice conversations and we will return to Montserrat's place for sure!!! Also the village Archanes, that is 2km further than Katalagari, is a very nice village to visit.
Montserrat, thank you for letting us stay in you're house and for being the perfect and most wonderfull host xxx
Lots of hugs and kisses from Simon and Jenny
