Our week in Plaka 1-8 October 2024
This was our first week of 4 in Crete and what a start! All our places we stay have a lot to live up to!
George and Nana were the perfect hosts and the accommodation was just as we hoped for and wanted.
We we out and about everyday enjoying the surrounding area, travelling as far as the south coast and enjoying many walks and beaches.
Lots of places to eat out but the apartment kitchen was so well equipped that it was a pleasure to eat in too!
Thanks for the homemade raki, the gift and a bottle of bubbly for my 60th birthday next week!
A wonderful stay

Cretan delight
What a fantastic stay. George and Nana our hosts were superb. Outside space is just heavenly in George’s award winning garden.
Lovely pool with plenty of outside seating. The accommodation was absolutely spotless and unbelievably well equipped.
We would definitely recommend.

Wonderful host and location
Although we had bad luck with a broken arm at the start of our holiday, George and Nana were the most exceptionally kind and thoughtful hosts. We cannot praise them highly enough, and they really made our stay memorable for good things, and helped us enjoy the rest of our stay in their lovely apartment and garden.

Beautifully located and thoughtfully equipped villa. Lovely garden and superb pool.
As one who has two villa holidays a year this was far and away the best ever. Our hosts, George and Nana were so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We left feeling like members of the family having received so many restaurant tips from George's encyclopedic knowledge of the Cretan gastronomic scene.The villa was ideally situated to explore the wonderful scenery of Western Crete. This may well be the villa that breaks our holiday rule of not going back to the same place!

Séjour très agréable avec magnifique piscine et beau jardin. Accueil attentionné et généreux! Seule la climatisation nous a manqué vue les grosses chaleurs...
