I dont think it's possible to say how much I recommend staying here. Akoumia is a quiet, peaceful and relaxing little village in the mountains. it's got a lovely town square with several tavernas, owned by the most welcoming people. if you just stayed in Akoumia you could be satisfied by your stay. However the area has so much to offer - there are beaches, lovely little towns and villages, gorges, mountains, incredible food and wine and welcoming people all across the region and within driving distance.
The house is fantastic - it's a quirky 200 year old place which is charming and has all the amenities you could need. The balcony and roof are especially useful for relaxing with a great view but in privacy. The downstairs bedroom stays at a good temperature throughout the day and night. The house is filled with paintings by Jannis and others, and other trinkets and pieces of history - many of which are restored by him.
Finally, Jannis is the most warm hearted lovely guy you could meet. He made our stay so special, from his check-ins, to recommendations for food and drink, to his wealth of knowledge about the history of the area, and of course his gifts of raki and fruits from his garden. He is, along with the people from Akoumia, and Crete as a whole do things from the heart and it shows.
