"A lovely traditional house in a typical Cretan village away from the tourist hotspots. Our host spoke good English and was very welcoming and helpful. The bakery sells wonderful trays of Baklava which we enjoyed on our spacious roof terrace, a great place for breakfast too. "

"Eine Wohnung, wie man sie sich in Kreta vorstellt. Sehr liebevoll und gut ausgestattet. Für einen Hochstuhl wurde auf Wunsch gesorgt. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und half mit Tipps. Ein Frühstück wurde bereit gestellt. Einziges Manko waren die Geräusche durch die Flugzeuge, dafür war der Flughafen zur Abreise in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Gute Parkplatzsituation."
