We fell in deep love. Really. The staff is simply amazing. The place is incredibly beautiful. If I‘d marry again, I would call them. Such a nice place. Fantastic. Oh - and the Cretan food plus the Theater - just great. Next time we bring our girls with us so that we can write about the horses, too. Many, many thanks for your hospitality!
