The property is breathtakingly beautiful, romantic, relaxing, surrounded by groves of olives, orchards of pears, vineyards of grapes, and countless authentic, local Cretan fare restaurants. Countless beaches are within a 5-30 minute drive, and if you need, a clean, cool swimming pool at your own villa! Olive oil tours, brewery tours, wine tasting tours within short drives, and ancient history at Knossos only a three hour drive. If you are considering a different location, drop it and reserve Maritina in Xirocampi/Plantanias! Andreas offers outstanding hospitality, and remains available throughout your stay for recommendations of restaurants and activities. He is the most gracious, communicative, and generous host. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Leonard Ezell
