My girlfriend and I stayed 6 nights in late July to explore the western part of Crete. The location was perfect for that purpose. You reach all the highlights in the western part (Balos, Elafonissi, Samaria Gorge, Preveli etc.). The region and the small village of Ano Vouves are lovely. We enjoyed a lot of sunrises and sunsets on our balcony with a view over the mountains and olive groves.
The house was nice and clean and was exactly what we expected from the pictures. There are air conditioners, even though you can’t see them on the pictures.
We were warmly welcomed by Nikolaos‘ father who was always there for us during our stay. Nikolaos himself was always available for any questions we had. He also gave us some awesome tips for locations and local taverns.
We can really recommend staying at Nikolaos‘ place.
