We had a delightful one-week stay at Jannis’ home in Akoumia. Jannis was available and a great communicator from the moment we reserved. He helped us with directions and was careful about cleanliness with respect to coronavirus to prepare for our check-in. The home itself has many charming corners to rest and a beautiful view of the Cretan hills. The garden has almond and fig trees, and we cooked with the rosemary from the garden. A van comes by playing music, and you can buy fruit and vegetables from the driver. We ate at least one delicious meal per day at the town’s only restaurant, where Dimitra serves Cretan cuisine under a 500+ year old tree (and she can tell you a thing or two about Akoumia). Beaches are not far away: Triopetra and Ligres are lovely. You will love Akoumia and staying in Jannis’ family home.
