Wunderschöner Urlaub

Wir haben mit unseren 3 Kindern zwei Wochen im Haus von Vermieter Adonis verbracht. Adonis hat sein Haus liebevoll renoviert. Es ist super ausgestattet und hat eine tolle Lage. Zu diversen Stränden fährt man nur zwischen 10 und maximal 20 Minuten. Das Haus liegt ruhig und idyllisch in einem kleinen Dorf mit sehr netten Nachbarn. Unsere Kinder haben das Dorf allein erkunden können und sich mit den Hunden der Nachbarn angefreundet. Bei der Anreise hat Adonis ein bisschen was für uns eingekauft und war bei Fragen gleich zur Stelle. Wir durften sogar sein selbst gemachtes Olivenöl ausgiebig testen :-) Wir hatten einen rundum erholsamen und wunderschönen Urlaub.

Beautiful place!

We have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful place in September 2014 and have seldom experienced such a great holiday! The house is perfectly equipped, in excellent condition, the location is outstanding with the views of the mountains. Plakias is not far; approximately 10 min by car; beautiful beaches are even closer. The surroundings have a lot to offer, great beaches, numerous excellent taverns, shops, supermarkets within a 10 min drive. It is a great place to spend your holiday. And Adonis, the owner, is a very gentle person and helpful with whatever is needed! We hardly ever go to the same place twice, but this time we might :-)

Afroditi House in Gianiou, Crete

My family (2 adults & 2 kids, ages 7 and 9) & I stayed in this house for 2 weeks at the end of April 2014. It was exactly as shown in the pictures; as a matter of fact, it's hard to convey the effect of the spectacular panorama that you get from the patio. What a pleasure to wake up to every morning. The location is a small, sparsely-populated mountain village with friendly people (and lots of cats & sheep). The nearest large town, Plakias, is a tourist resort with a wide array of restaurants and grocery stores; it also has a butcher & a bakery, and, of course, an assortment of beaches. There's lots of rambling to be done from the house - including to the famous Prevali monastery, 1.5 kms over the mountain; and a spectacular panorama from the church on the highest peak right behind the village, about 1400' up. Our little girl took joy in doing a "patrol" of the village streets every morning after she got up. The owner of the house is Adonis, a friendly guy who also, as it happens, owns a tourist agency in town - so he has lots of info, if you need it. He put a lot of time & money into restoring his old family homstead, and he obviously cares about it very much. Many major sights are within a 90 min drive, including Chania, Iraklio, the ferries at Chora Sfakion, Phaestos, and Gortys, just to name a few. Our only (very minor) complaint is that the heat was turned off, and the odd night it was chilly, especially in the bottom floor kitchen - but we were there early in the season. This is the place for you if you want to have a genuine Cretan experience at your own pace & on your own terms, in spectacular surroundings that give you a taste of the flow & ebb of daily life. We had a wonderful time, and would recommend this place to anyone.
