We stayed at another Omilo’s hotel nearby but came here for the complimentary breakfast each day and the view of the pool and breakfast spread were divine. The woman in the kitchen from Sydney who married and moved here was so lovely and had a quick chat with my partner and I. As fellow Australians it was so lovely meeting her and hearing a bit about what it’s like living in Crete. She also had some of the best breakfast food ideas as a part of the spread 🤤 we would definitely recommend.
