Maria offers not only a home, but a lifelong and meaningful experience. She is a gem, a beautiful soul who represents Crete with her hospitality, interest in travelers, and by encouraging understanding and discourse. She has put in a lot of effort to make the experience a true Cretan treat, with grapes from her mother’s vineyard and Raki made by her father. She helped us in every aspect and by the end of the trip was already a true friend. Gorgeous house, serene garden, great location for Archanes village- a very easy walk to town.
One tip is it’s Not easy to park in that area, we are glad we took a taxi.
EVERYONE GO TO KRITAMON restaurant and say hi to Dimitris, Maria, and Gary the dog for me.
With love, Nathan and Ariel
