If you want to get away to a remote, peaceful place that has everything you need for a relaxing stay, you can't get better than this. Getting there isn't for the faint-hearted as the mountain-side track to Selakano is quite 'exciting', with shear cliff drops, overhanging mountains, dodgy roads etc. However, for the adventurous just take it easy and you'll get there fine.
Despoina's place has everything you need should you just want to chill out in one place for a week or two. The food is lovely, the people are great, it isn't expensive and there's plenty to explore on foot in the area. Of course, you can sit by the pool (fed by mountain springs I believe), enjoy the food and drink in the Taverna or choose to nip down to the coast 30 minutes away. It really is an idyllic place for peace and quiet and to see authentic Cretan life..
We loved it!
