A great deal of thought and care has gone into making this little house a welcoming and special environment, from the charming furnishings and pot plants to the plate of home-made cookies on arrival. There were a few minor maintenance problems, such as a temperamental toilet cistern, but nothing we couldn't deal with or that spoiled our stay, and Pantelis tells me they are now fixed. We liked being in a 'real' Cretan village, and were far happier with our friendly if noisy neighbours than we would have been in a purpose-built holiday complex surrounded by other tourists! We sat outside to eat our meals so that - if we had no towels on the washing line - we had a view of the sea. An even better view could be had from the roof, but we liked the privacy of the tiny garden. A great location for exploring eastern Crete - car essential.
