Our stay at Despiona's Villa Galatia was wonderful! We were 10 days in the villa (late August to early September). Despiona visited us on the 2nd day and I have never been greeted so warmly by an AirBnB host as by Despiona. She really took her time with us and explained and showed us everything. She even brought us cake and a Greek specialty (a kind of quiche). Very attentive. (I had also never had such delicious figs before) Thank you Despiona, that was with a big reason why we also felt so comfortable. The pool was even cleaned every 2-3 days and the villa was also very clean and very nicely decorated. The villa is situated in a secluded area, which makes it the perfect place to relax and enjoy life. In the evening it's accordingly very quiet, so it's not a place for party people. We had very great evenings outside by the pool, you can hear the sheep and crickets, no cars, no noise. That was very nice. However, if you want a little more action, then you should look for another place. You definitely need a car, you can't get there by public transport. The journey is also very spectacular, that was always an adventure ;)You have to accept that you have to drive at least 20-30 minutes to get to the beach but that never bothered us. We loved to be on the road, but we also loved to just spend a day at the pool and enjoy the sun. We also went to Balos and Elafonisi and that was very worthwhile. We also visited Chania and Rethymnon. Overall we had a wonderful time at Villa Galatia, we were all very sad to leave again. Thank you Despiona!
