Eleni was able to welcome us personally and stayed for the first night in her apartment above the guest apartment.
She was super kind and showed us around. We used Google translate and our hands to communicate as she speaks Greek and we don't :D it was a lot of fun:)!
She is an amazing host. If you want to have a local and personal experince and feel like home rather than in a hotel, then this is the place to go.
You have a parking lot there (streets are quite narrow in the village, but it's doable :D especially coming from the side of Zaros entering the village) - you will be shown the way.
You have a sea view and mountains all over with nice hikes. Just 20min away is a nice little lake (Zaros lake) where you can grab some beer. We did the walk at sunset. It's amazing!
Eleni introduced us to Dimitri's and Koula's taverna (Κρητικά Βότανα) in the village. What can I say, they all have a place in our hearts now. Just so friendly and welcoming. <3
From this place we did daily trips to the south.
We will for sure come back!
Thank you, Eleni!!
