Maria’s house was absolutely wonderful. Her garden is magical and she is an incredibly charming, generous and helpful host. The bed was brand new and comfortable, especially if you like a firmer mattress. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. Air conditioning works well and the little kitchen area was fine to make breakfast. It’s a short walk to the town square where there are lots of restaurants and all services. Archanes town was a lovely base for our Heraklion and wine country visit.
