The Farmer’s House is fantastic! It is bright, clean, and comfortable.
The setting is ideal if you want to be up in the mountains away from it all. The little village of Magarikari has enchanted us. We go to sleep listening to the wind and wake up with the sounds of chicken and sheep. If, however, you want to be five minutes from the beach, this is not the place. The nearest beach is more like 25 minutes away. Speaking of beaches - Crete’s are amazing!
The hosts are such hospitable and caring people. They left wine fresh from their own vineyard. They arranged for the delivery of fresh bread, fresh eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, and cheese - almost all made in Magarikari. They even invited us up a mountain to share in one of the village’s important church holidays. We feel well taken care of and so grateful.
Wish our visas for the EU lasted longer, but for now we will have to settle for a return trip.
