We have had a FANTASTIC stay in the villa in Sarchos. Mary and her parents are lovely people with great hospitality, fast and clear communication and a very friendly and helping attitude. We were welcomed by Mary's parents, who left a home cooked meal and fresh fruits for us in the fridge in case we were hungry. We felt very welcomed and at the same time our privacy was very much respected. Perhaps the best AirBnB experience we have had so far!
Sarchos is a small village in the midst of olive trees. We found fig trees closeby that had very tasty and sweet figs. We were welcomed to eat the fruit from the garden as well but unfortunately we did not come in the right season for the fruit to be ripe.
A car is highly recommended and perhaps necessary for your stay. If you decide to discover the area by car, make sure to plan your road ahead if your car is not designed to drive off road.
The house is big and clean, and everything you may need is present. Olive oil (from the area, really good), coffee tea and seasoning, kitchen materials, towels, shower products, a fan, a parasol for the terrace, anti mosquito things... Great!!
Some tips:
- Taverne Ammoudara in the village closeby (Krousonas) for a nice and cheap meal
- Karavostasi beach (less crowded than the other Bali beaches)
- The museum of architecture in Heraklion
We would love to thank you again for the fantastic stay. When we visit Crete in the future, we know where to book our stay!!!
