We (family with kids 18 and 15 years old) are just back from our holiday in Crete. We stayed 2 weeks in the house by the parents of Evangelos. They live downstairs and we stayed at the first floor with an apart entry. Before our holiday, Evangelos was very helpful with questions we had and this was also during our stay. As there is free WIFI you can easily reach him.
As our flight was delayed, we arrived at 22h and we were welcomed very warm by his parents. His mother explained us everything although she only speaks Greek but we understood each other. When we arrived, there were a lot of vegetables, eggs, water, bread, cookies,.. and we were so glad with it because we were tired and hungry. The parents really do respect your privacy but when you want to ask something, they are so glad to help you. On sunday we were even invited by them for coffee and selfmade cookies and pie.
Evangelos' father speaks a little bit french so this might be useful sometimes. During our stay his mother supplied us with a lot of vegetables and eggs. It was so kind of her. They were so friendly.
The house itself is really nice. There are 2 big terraces, one with shadow and one with sun, both looking at the sea. In the kitchen, everything you need is there. It was very hot so we were glad with the AC in all the rooms. The sea is very close and at the beach you can hire 2 beds and an umbrella for 5 euro, included the swimming pool of hotel Corali. We hired a car and saw a lot of things. Heraklion and Chania are about 1h drive, Rethymnon only 15 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely come back again at Evangelos'place when we come at Crete. Evangelos and parents, thank you so much for everything!!!!!
