We stayed at Haris‘ apartment for two nights. We met him at the fuel station and he showed us the house and gave us some advice what to see in the east of Crete. He also offered us to check out later than usual as the house wasn’t booked for the following days.
If you want the full Cretan experience, the house is definitely something for you. The whole house and its facilities are old and traditional but in a good condition. It’s located right in the centre of an old village with very friendly neighbors (the woman next door gave us some home baked cakes and sweets). It takes you about five minutes to get to Sitia by car - it’s really close by but I would suggest driving the way instead of walking because it’s just not a really good walking route.
