Had a lovely holiday and villa Filira is beautiful. But sadly a rare weather event - a Medicane storm close to Crete did make things difficult. Effectively trapped in villa for couple of days. Had some difficulty finding villa but owner was on hand to guide us in and show around which was really good. Departed a day early only due to weather concerns. it was 100 miles from villa to airport and did not want to drive that in bad weather. Friday afternoon was fair and so bolted to Heraklion ahead of the storm. The villa is beautiful inside and was well insulated against the bad weather! It is much closer to a noisy highway than i would have expected and the view to the cost is not great - couple of dilapidated factories just half a mile or so from villa. The satellite tv did not work, which may have been weather related. Not normally turn TV on during holiday, but weather was so bad for 2 days that did! All greek!
