Cretan Village

Let’s start by saying we visited at the end of their season and they were clearly closing down. We just wish they had waited till we’d actually left to do so! We arrived in the early hours of the morning, at about 01:00 and there was no one there to meet us, just instructions and a map taped to the inside of the glass of the reception door. Fortunately we had a car otherwise we’d have had to lug our cases up many outdoor stairs through tunnels and many turns. When we finally found it our room reminded us of our first visit to Greece over 30 years ago. We fell in love with Greece back then and have returned to the mainland and many Islands since. Sadly this room (13) has had very little improvement over the years and was on the shabby side of rustic. Everything worked, but creaking into action and often in need of a coat of paint or varnish. Dinner that night was not in the advertised a la carte restaurant. Instead the only offering was a limited self-serve buffet, the sort of thing you’d see at a cheap all-inclusive. We didn’t dine there again, firstly for the aforementioned reason but also, by Monday, less than halfway through our 7-night stay, nothing was open, No pool facilities, no bar, no reception, no breakfast. Literally we had our room and an emergency out of hours number to call if required. Fortunately, we’re fairly self-sufficient and we didn’t let it spoil our holiday. The room was functional and comfortable enough to serve as a base to stay whilst we enjoyed the wonderful surrounding area with its amazing scenery, wonderful beaches snd many excellent restaurants. However, I struggle to think of what we’d have done without a car as there is very little to do within reasonable walking distance of this place and nothing in the hotel itself. A WORD OF WARNING, THIS PLACE COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN OR ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. Many of the steep, stone stairways to the rooms have rotten, wobbly wooden handrails that could break at any time. Tread carefully and don’t rely on handrails.
