Beautiful location. The views are exceptional. The owners are helpful, responsive and extremely kind. While rural, the area has a lot of offer as Elafonisi beach is only 20 minutes away via the coastal road (Google will tell you to take the highway (approx. 40 min) but take the coastal road (in excellent condition better than the last stretch of road to the Keramoti Villas) past Livadia (the local ‘Village’) and you will reach Elafonisi and other restaurants in 20 minutes). My initial impression of the location was extremely rural and remote. When we first arrived we came from Chania and the last stretch of road after leaving the motorway is exceptionally rural. The scenery however is beautiful. The owners met us when we arrived and showed us around the properly. Our pool filter was broken at our villa so they arranged for us to move into an equal if not better villa. The owners equipped us with eggs, bacon, feta cheese, bread, butter, wine, oranges, orange juice, milk and water when we arrived to ensure we had the basics to get us started as the local town does not have a market. The nearest is 20 minutes away. They also gifted us with olive oil, oregano, and Greek salt from their family property. The owners provided a beautiful dinner of Chicken, Potatoes and a Greek Salad on our first night. Check out Koutoulou Beach-Keramoti Beach (walking distance) and the famous Elafonisi Beach while you are there. The local and only restaurant in the town 5 minutes away is called Gialites Tavernare. We highly recommend this restaurant. Their food is fantastic and the atmosphere feels like you are at your Greek uncles house. They also make their own pottery on site. As mentioned before, take the coastal road to Elafonisi (Google does not register this road but it has been recently paved) and you will discover more restaurants and markets as you approach Elafonisi beach. This is a good area to pick up groceries if need be. I mentioned to my husband I felt seduced by this area of Crete. At first I was overwhelmed with how rural it felt but after understanding our surroundings I fell in love with the place. The villa provided a private, quiet, peaceful place to relax and truly check out for a few days. We were treated to an epic sunset each night. With no one else around just my husband and I sipping on white wine relaxing by the pool. Highly recommend !! The entire time I felt like I was looking out onto the edge of the world.
