We had an amazing time in Crete and Charilaos home and his graciousness were very much part of the reason why! We traveled from California, a family of (8) and (4) of us were celebrating birthdays during our Greek travel adventure. Charilaos home was spacious and the pool area was beautiful with a wonderful view to the water. You had everything you needed from the very well stocked kitchen to the downstairs gym. The grounds were impeccable with lots of seating for a large group. The home is very centrally located close to the beach, restaurants and coffee shops. Charilaos was kind enough to call a friend's restuarant up the street and ask them to stay open late as our ferry from Santorini had been delayed and travel from the airport put us to the home at 11pm. His familiarity with Crete and the Stalos/Chania area is a big plus for motorscooter, ATV, car rentals, restaurants, beaches, etc. Our only regret is that we did not have more time on this lovely, but very large island. We will be back and will definitely be staying in Charilaos's lovely home again!
