We arrived really late due to flight delay and hired a car with caravel local rental, we were really glad things were still open at 1.30 am so we didn't arrive until 2am and the lovely Vivi was waiting for us, she was kind and the flat was clean and inviting and had everything we needed for our stay, with a lovely sea breeze on the balcony, we spent many evenings hypnotised by the sound of the waves sitting on the balcony after swimming on the nearby beach a few metres away or at the Agia pelagia or lygaria beach which had some nice restaurants...our favourite one was Sirocco in Lygaria.
Vasilis and his mother Vivi are really generous people and treated us like special guests, we were so happy to find this place so near the beach with a dreamy view of the sea..and the promise of king Minos to Zeus runs deep with all cretans, this was the promise of hospitality to all visitors that King Minos vowed to uphold and in my experience, Crete delivers on this promise. We also drove to the east of the island to Istron and beyond where we were also met with wonderful food and hospitality. We had a great time and will definitely plan to go back next year, The Cretans are wonderful people and Crete is very special to us because of this warm and wonderful experience.
