La porta di ingresso per la Gola di Samaria

Gerne wieder
Pros:

Gemuetliches einfaches Hotel in den Weissen Bergen.
Sehr nettes Personal. Hatte nur eine Nacht Aufenthalt wg. Rundreise, dabei war alles wie beschrieben. Praktisch das Restaurant dabei, da ich abends angereist bin, sowie die Moeglichkeit zu Fruehstuecken.

Perfekt fuer Trecking, oder in meinem Fall einfach um eine andere Seite von Kreta kennen zu lernen. Ich war Mitte Oktober da, und die Samaria-Schlucht war bereits geschlossen, daher waren wenige Gaeste da und es war sehr ruhig. Im Sommer ist draussen sitzen bestimmt toll, die Gegend ist fantastisch.

Der Hotelbesitzer stellt selbst Keramiken her, da hat man gleich tolle handgemachte Mitbringsel.
Es gibt wohl einen Shuttle-Service fuer Wanderer zur Schlucht.

Gerne wieder!

Wer mit dem Auto anreist, Achtung, es koennen unterwegs Schafe auf der Strasse sein, auch nachts!

Logement tres bien situé et personnel accueillant
Pros:

Le logement est parfaitement situé pour le départ de randonnées, dont celle des gorges de Samaria.
L'hôte est très disponible et donne des indications utiles et importantes pour le déroulement de la randonnée.
Il y a un restaurant dans l'hôtel, qui est ouvert tard (22h30) et un petit déjeuner qui commence tôt pour les randonneurs matinaux (7h00).
L'hôte propose également un service de navette gratuit pour le départ des gorges ; et explique tout ce qu'il faut pour la retour de la randonnée.
Le personnel est très accueillant, et parle plusieurs langues (anglais français)

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner est tres bien servi, mais un peu trop sucré à notre goût.
En chambre, il manque de quoi pendre les affaires mouillées (Essuies de plage, maillot...).
