This little gem in Plakias felt like home away from home. You can tell how Georgia, the owner, has designed and touched everything with care, love, and an impeccable eye for beauty and harmony. Her apartment looked as if we were the first tenants!
The bed was by media strom, one of the best Greek mattress designers. A good night’s sleep in this bed with the cricket songs at night or a siesta in the afternoon listening to the sea waves turned this apartment into the perfect place to recharge.
Our hostess treated us with unforgettable Cretan hospitality. She was friendly, discreet, always available to offer tips, clean spotlessly, and make our stay comfortable. She’s also welcomed us with local wine and olive oil. Though it was easy to cook and enjoy local produce using the fully equipped kitchen, we enjoyed scrumptious meals at “to xechoristo” nearby for souvlaki, “Dionyssos” in Myrthios after a midday hike, and “Mariou” in Mariou for dinner watching the most enchanting sunset.
We’re in Crete on our first attempt to travel light while using public transportation. Exploring the area around Plakias while staying at Georgia’s place was a memorable experience which we’ll savor in the winter.
