Vasilis' villa was nothing short of prestige. Upon booking, Vasilis and I were constantly in communication. Since, my friends and I already had a car rental, he provided directions to the villa. It was a short 17 minute drive from the airport. When we landed in Crete, we arrived at the gates of the villa with a very warm welcome from Vasilis and his wife and uncle. The villa was elegant, upscale, and offered an AMAZING view of Crete. The pictures do no do justice, you must see this with your own eyes.
Upon getting the grand tour of the place, Vasilis was very kind to show us recommendations of beaches, sights, restaurants, and other sights in Crete. One of his suggestions was to visit Balos Beach, and by far it was my favorite part of Crete. We took upon every suggestion Vasilis recommended and he definitely delivered! Not only was I very satisfied, all my friends had a GREAT time as well.
Further, my friends and I decided to visit Santorini one day and Vasilis not only found out that there was a strike on local ferries, but he personally called the port to find out that one of the ferries were running and gave us times. He even suggested that we book at the port instead of online. We made the day trip to Santorini the next day thanks to his help.
Overall, our goal was to have a great time in Crete, and Vasilis made that process very seamless. My other friends who did not have an Airbnb account personally reached out to him to express gratitude for a wonderful time!
I would highly recommend Vasilis because he goes above and beyond what you would expect a host would do. He knows Crete VERY well, and his recommendations were nothing short of excellent! I give Vasilis 5 stars, but I would give him more if allowed!!
