The perfect place to explore Crete individually. The village is unaffected by tourism, although the best walks on the island and the best beaches are within a short distance with a car. The appartement is perfectly equipped, everything you need for much longer than the first breakfast. The village has plenty of rural products, and fridge was full of them on arrival - including a bottle of both red and white wine and raki. Exactly what it takes to enjoy the perfect view from the western balcony to the Golf of Messara and Tympaki. The eastern balcony - actually a spacious terrace - hosts a barbecue. (Of which I did not make use, because there is a kafeneio which serves home made food.) In the village I felt more than welcome, the village and the hosts Ioannis and Virginia hold very high the Cretan value of hospitality. The place deserves a longer stay!
