We stayed at Antonios place for one week. We had a very warm welcome by Antonios. The stone house with its great view is well equipped. You find everything you need. Quickly we felt like being at home. But beware of the mosquitos ! After the first night we learned our lesson and used more protection :) There is already a lot of stuff in the house, but bring autan or similar. The beach near Rethymnon is nice and not so crowded (20 mins). All in all a good base for trips and we really enjoyed staying.
