We loved our 6-night stay at the Natura Cottages! It is a unique place for those who like being in nature and getting away from the touristy areas. The terrace was one our favorite aspects - we enjoyed the sea view each day. Having a car is not necessary to go to the beach but certainly a plus if you’d like to explore the area. Two things to note: 1) the cicadas (not only here but throughout Crete) are noisy neighbors. Some may prefer earplugs for sleeping. We made friends with them and got used to it. 2) the bed is a bit more on the firm side. Overall, we will certainly recommend this place to our family and friends!
