The cottage is beautifully decorated and super clean! We was met by Chris’s lovely dad and mum, who offered advice of good places to go and was generous enough to leave us fruit and vegetables, they was so sweet and helpful!
The cottage is advertised as having a double bed, but I think it’s a king which pleasantly surprised us! We are used to a super king at home and wasn’t looking forward to a double, but we definitely had enough room, so I think it’s a king! 😃
The cottage is in a good location to visit all the lovely beaches that Chris recommended , voulisima beach is quite busy so we avoided it, but kritsa is close by and less crowded as is amoundara. Agios nickaloas and Elounda and Plaka are close by, we hired a car and the furthest village Plaka took us about 30 minutes to get there.
A taxi to Agios nickaloas is €20/€18 each way from the cottage.
There are some lovely restaurants in Istro that are walking distance from the cottage, Kavos restaurant was really good!
All in all we really enjoyed our stay in beautiful Crete , in this beautiful area of the island, such a peaceful area with lots of gorgeous towns to see, with its stunning clear water and a really chilled vibe!
