If you are looking for an experience of Crete away from the crowds Carob Villas give you that. The sea is visible but so are the mountains which frame your view and beckon you to explore them. There are no internal doors apart from the bathroom so you see and hear everything which is perfect if you are going there as a small family group or couple. I call Crete the magic island. This understated villa in a quiet setting is a stepping stone to going out and finding the magic.
