We didn't get to meet Katarina due to personal issues - but she kept in touch via text/phone during our stay. Her father Christos was there to welcome us and show us around the property and make our introductions at the local restaurant (which was lovely and very traditional - John Haralambakis and his parents were one of the highlights of our short stay (his mum gives amazing hugs :-) and is obviously the local meeting place as well as a place for the odd tourist to eat/drink). Katarina's grandparents were always on hand to help us out as they live next door, providing advice on lighting the log burning stove (much needed on cool October evenings!) and a plentiful supply of home grown fruit, dolmades and Raki (oh my word) The language barrier was overcome with hand gestures, big laughs and shoulder shrugs - definately worth knowing a bit of Greek if you stay here! The house was very roomy (a bit big for only the two of us!) and quirky in its design - 3 levels including a lovely spiral staircase up to the master bedroom. It's a very quiet, rural village - don't expect nightlife, this is Crete away from the tourist areas so your own transport is a must. A perfect relaxing end to our honeymoon, made all the better for the fabulous local people we met. We were honoured to be welcomed into their world.
