Eleonas Cottages, Crete
This was the most unassuming, beautiful, restful spot one could imagine. An hour from the airport through hilly countryside and quiet villages takes you to this wonderfulplace in the middle of Crete, among mountains and olive groves with the most amazing views from your bedroom balcony. Eleonas is a treasure – peaceful and with amenities like aircon, swimming pool and fantastic Cretan traditional cooking. They love children, which was a bonus and are helpful with anything you need. It's great value too, as you can book per night. There is also a lovely lake within walking distance, and quaint village with tavernas for a local treat.
