If this property is available and you want an authentic experience that feels like a home away from home then stay here. The family is amazing and even cooked us some traditional Greek food and had some treats and a bottle of wine for us on arrival. There is also a beach right on your doorstep that all the locals go to. I can’t fault this place and we were surprised it was available to book a month out. We looked at a lot of different places before booking this and wanted to stay somewhere without the crowds of tourists. Book this place, it is worth every penny. You won’t regret it! Thanks again to the hosts. I’ll recommend this place to everyone coming to Crete.
I picked this place for the view and it did not disappoint. It was very convenient to the national highway and small towns. Loved the owners! They were very welcoming and brought goodies to us several times. Lots of space and very beautiful private beach nearby. Would recommend.
Anna et Costa, les propriétaires qui habitent au rez-de chaussée de la maison, sont des personnes très sympathiques et aimables. L'appartement est spacieux et très agréable à vivre dans le style typiquement grec! La plage est à trois minutes à pied, Kalyves, où il y a les restaurants et les magasins pour le shopping est, à 10 minutes en voiture. Dans les environs il y a aussi beaucoup de lieux magnifiques à visiter. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir!
This was our first trip to Crete and we were so lucky to stay in this beautiful place! To have coffee every morning pin the terrace overlooking to blue sea was perfect! We could walk down the path under the grape arbor to a quiet, perfect beach for a swim. Our hosts were very friendly and Anna’s gifts of delicious Cretan food from her kitchen and her garden were an expected delight!!! We will definitely return when we can.!!!
