Though this home is a few km from the beach, restaurants, shops, etc, it is an incredibly nice and peaceful oasis in the middle of a large olive grove and with a view of the mountains. The house is very modern with 2 pools and 1 jacuzzi pool. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable during our entire stay. The inside is wonderful but the outside areas are even better, with plenty of outside seating, tables, etc. The only thing we needed while there that the home doesn't have is a dryer for our washed clothes. But that is more of a suggestion than a complaint. We loved our stay in Crete and in this home!
