An amazing oasis on the hills above heraklion. Fotini and her family were amazing hosts, so warm and generous. The house is lovely, big (almost too big for our family of 4) and clean, with 360° views of the mountains and valleys all around central Crete from the many balconies. We took Fotini's recommendation and ate at a gorgeous taverna in the Archanes town square. Great atmosphere amongst the many locals and few tourists eating there. the short road up from the village is a little sketchy as it was unpaved when we visited but well worth the dust and bumps. sadly we only had one night here but look forward to coming again the next chance we get.
