We had a fabulous stay and enjoyed the views from house and the lights in the garden especially at sunset. There are shops nearby but for proper food shopping or going anywhere you need to be mobile. The nearby beach is very rocky. A more sandy beach is not too far away but ideally you have a car to go there...
This location is about 15min away from the beautiful town Rethymnon and about 50min from Heraklion. It's also in the middle of the island and you can reach the South of Creta quickly from here. We had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday here and also had a fantastic host who we never saw but Lena was always reachable by phone and responded immediately when we needed information. You're in great hands here!
