The dream catcher is the perfect place to explore Crete. You definitely need a car, but that allows you to go places that you otherwise will not be able to visit. Athena was the best host that we have ever had. We had a little trouble finding the house. She came to our location and walked us in. She had homemade goodies from her mother. She was in contact with us throughout our visit to make sure that we were comfortable. We came home one day and there was Cretean snacks and tea that she had left on the door. The place was spotless and having our coffee every morning on the outside terrace was perfect. We have been to many places, but Crete has now become our favorite destination.
