If you wish to really discover Creta, please go to Palailoni to Nikos place. The house is superbe and combines both the rustic , traditional and all the modern equipment you expect. The view both from the balcony and the front door is incredible, the lefka oroi and the apokoranos villages vegetation are breathtaking. Of course you need your car but you will easily find that from there you can go to Chania , Rethmyno and the southern parts like Sfakia very quickly. But the final and most admirable feature are Nikos and his parents who greeted us with the FAMOUS CRETAN HOSPITALITY with Tsikoudia , Kaltsounia ( Cretan cheese pie) , figues , Barbary fig fruits for my wife's breakfast.
