We had a very nice stay at Maria's place, it was our first 2 nights in Crete directly after arriving from Heraklion airport (with a rented car), very convenient and close to the airport as well. For us the perfect start for our trip in Crete, Sisse is a nice village with no "touristic" pressure, a few nice tavernas and supermarket so we could also cook salad and coffee at the place, it is quiet and has a very nice view on the mountain and the sea. We could go by foot to 2 nice little beaches directly downstairs from the village (about 1/2 hour by foot or 5-10 minutes with car) with small beach snacks, nice swimming spots and mostly local people relaxing. Maria is very very nice, we had a coffee together and a nice chat as well, which didn't happen that often in other more touristic places later in the trip (mostly airbnb are like hotels with very few contacts with the owner of the place). Thank you Maria, we will come back when we come back to Crete!!
