This house is beautiful and the view is a dream come true. Also it’s so close to the charming town and so many incredible beaches. The house and pool were perfectly clean ( no bugs at all) had a lovely deck and pool and it’s easy to get in touch with the owner. Only advice is do not arrive at night because it’s very dark, high in the mountains is and very challenging to find the house in the dark. In the day it’s fine. It’s best to rent a small car ( Crete towns and roads are so narrow) and don’t forget to get your international drivers license for Greece if you are from the States. You need it to rent a car. Also the WiFi up in the mountains is slow so use the towns hotel or restaurant WiFi. You will love Crete , go to Preveli beach and walk the palm forest, go to Schinaria beach for a hidden gem of a beach and Ammoudi beach for incredible swimming and high quality beach snacks. Get ready for an amazing vacation!
