We were looking for a place to go during our vacation in may. And Crete was a great choice. Weather is perfect for traveling around the island. Mild sun and cool breeze. No tourists, free roads. Everyday we had a road trip to one of the billion beautiful places and sightseeings Crete has to offer. Do not go to Crete if you are not going to rent a car. You will miss it all. May is a perfect month. All types of aroma around you.
The sea is warm enough to swim this time of the year. But is was not our goal.
We were looking for a perfect place to stay to explore the island and be close no nature and local living. East Crete is much better. Whenever you will drive its a picturesque sight.
Stefania house was a great choice beyond any expectations one can think of. The house is big, great fully equipped kitchen, garden terrace. All the family is an etalon of hospitality. There is a small family owned farm you will be introduced to and see some animals. Every morning we enjoyed fresh gifts from the farm. Our daughter took part in planting tomatoes. So if you will be here in the mid summer you can try on of them).
Sofia, Stefania mother, has a lot of stories to tell you so do not hesitate to spend some time with her.
Thank you for the perfect vacation and hospitality. Hope to return here.
