STAY HERE. We mistakenly only spent one night in Crete (5 young law students post study abroad), but we’re already planning on coming back and staying with Elena and Sofia. I’ve never stayed somewhere with such hospitable hosts. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for our stay and the flat was amazing. We had the same views there that we did on the mountain. Their family was so welcoming and helpful we really couldn’t have asked for a better stay. There’s also an amazing smelling soap in the shower. There’s a private entrance to the downstairs area where the flat is located which offers guests privacy if they want it, plus two balconies to enjoy the view. We comfortably fit 5 people, but you could definitely fit more. We had an amazing visit and I would recommend reaching out to Sofia and Elena as you plan your trip, as they’re extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I can not recommend staying here enough! We will be back!
