Ioannis has a lovely apartment in a small village in the hills of Crete. as some other reviews have said, the location is great if you plan to explore the north west and south west of the island. The restaurants nearby are top quality local eateries and we got ourain supplies from kissamos where it is a lot cheaper than from the small mini markets in the hills or the tourist spots. If you're looking for an authentic village stay in a modern apartment, this will suit you well. the highlight for us was spending a couple of hours talking with the elderly residents next door using a translator app. they were so accommodating and genuine, we had a great conversation and had to request they don't give us any gifts as we couldn't take them on the plane the next day. It always pays to give a smile and a Kalimera when you're passing by.
