Pros:

La situation dans Sfakia en plein centre, le parking gratuit, la décoration, la vue mer.
Les petits en-cas dans la chambre.
L'accueil de Yannis
La petite attention avec la carte de souvenir.

Cons:

Vue mer, mais les antennes parabolique et clim en premier plan, mais finalement peu important vu la situation en plein centre.

Gastvrije schone locatie met activiteiten in de buurt
Pros:

Een schone gasvrije plek om te overnachten met een goed bed en een sfeervolle rustieke binnentuin. Naast deze locatie is een supermarkt en bakkerij. Uitgebreid ontbijten kan je het beste bij de bakker bij de parkeerplaats.
Dit kustdorpje is een goede uitvalbasis voor activiteiten. Ze brengen je per boot naar unieke locaties aan de westkust waar je met de auto niet kan komen. Je kan ook een stukje van de E4 route lopen naar Loutro. Het is een steil smal rotswandelpad langs de kust vol in de zon. Voor ons een heerlijke wandelpad in april. Halverwege kom je een geweldig strandje tegen “Sweet water beach” om even te ontspannen en te zwemmen. In het sfeervolle plaatsje Loutro laat je gewoon weer met de boot terug brengen. (€5 pp enkele reis)
Je zit ook vlakbij de Imbros kloof. Een van de best bereikbare Kloven van Kreta, minder zwaar dan Samaria, maar met mooie rotswanden en uitzichten — eindigt nabij Sfakia. De Aradenakloof (in de buurt)
Spectaculair, ruiger én rustiger dan Samaria. De kloof eindigt bij Marmara Beach. Naast de kloof vind je de Aradena-brug (138 m hoog). De Samariakloof (via Agia Roumeli) dan is Chóra Sfakíon de plek waar wandelaars per boot uit Agia Roumeli arriveren en dan verder reizen.

We were greeted by Yiannis who showed us the facilities and led us to our comfortable room. There is a lovely communal garden for shade in the summer. Great hot water. Will definitely go back if in the area.

Nothing. Everything was great.
