Gina and Giorgis gave us a warm hospitable Cretan welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and always done with a smile.we were immediately made to feel part of the family,with wonderful home cooked and home grown meals,lots of conversation and laughter.Gina is lively and outgoing, speaks very good english, loves sharing her cooking skills, traditional dancing and her garden.She even produced a cake for our wedding anniversary.Giorgis manages to combine milking the sheep,maintaining the vegetable garden, the olive groves with being a warm and attentive host to his guests.
The rooms are clean and have everything you need including a fridge and tea/ coffee making facilities, and sunbeds on the verandah.
The area has local beaches 3 minutes walk from the taverna,and is quiet and peaceful,with bird life and the sound of sheep bells. There are only 2 other tavernas locally , which looked empty, the little nightlife there is seemed to happen at Zorbas! You may need a car to visit other beaches and places in the area.The walking is good in the many gorges along this coastline, both from the taverna and further afield.
I cannot recommend this highly enough.It is very cheap and the food is of a high standard you would not find in tourist places.
We left feeling that we had found new friends and a Cretan family life which one would never find staying in a hotel .
