We had an excellent time in Pera Chorio. A lovely group of immaculately restored houses, situated in a quiet village with easy access to the north and south shores of eastern Crete. We stayed in Dafni, the most recently renovated house. The interior and exterior areas are spacious and equipped/decorated to the highest standard. The hot tub is an extra bonus! We simply had to try it in the evening, stargazing with a glass of wine. The owners and manager were very helpful in providing us with plenty of information to help us prepare our trip (car rental, info on restaurants , beaches, activities). The lovely Ms Eleni welcomed us with local delicacies. An amazing spring hidden under plane trees, is situated 2 mins walk from the house. In the evenings a small restaurant opens next to the spring and you can eat with the sound of the gushing water. In all, a great stay and we will surely come back! ##### Simone R.
