What a special place to stay. It is rich with history and something you have to see to believe. It is very remote and in a small quite village set in the mountains. It is about a 45 minute drive by car from the HER airport. If you are squeamish about curving roads and hairpin turns this might not be for you. It is a bit of an adventure up the mountain but that adds to the fun of it all. It is also a very typical drive of getting just about anywhere in Crete. It does not have AC but for us it was not a problem even in the 32C/90F summer heat. The thick stone walls do a good job of keeping things cool.
The place is well stocked with lots of thoughtful touches. The host is also extremely helpful and was very attentive to anything we needed.
