Vacation rentals in Kofinas

We arrives at 10PM, Eleny and her daughter welcomed us, we did not know where we would be able to eat but Eleny had prepared a great meal for us, we felt at home immediately. The accommodation was impeccable and had many equipments. Everyday Eleny has surprised us with différent breakfasts (and she is a really good cook as well). She has great recommendations and contacts to help you with any activity you would like to try. Even when the weather gets hot the couse keeps cool we did not Even had to use the A/C once which was really appreciated. We would stay here again with out hesitation

Our experience here was the highlight of our stay in Crete! Federico provided us with detailed recommendations of some of his favorite spots nearby, and we visited as many as we could. Each one was a beautiful destination with no tourists and occasionally some fellow locals. And his food recommendations were some of the best food we had! As for the house itself, it’s a beautiful, private villa made with love by Federico

Phenomenal stay with a perfect host. We couldn’t have asked for better and got way more than we expected!

9 days vacation in a wonderful little apartment with a really great terrace. Everything is new and friendly and furnished with a lot of love. But we were even more impressed by Anna's cordiality and all her little (edible and drinkable) gifts, which were always at our door. Thank you again dear Anna. The apartment is easily accessible, with its own parking right outside the door and within walking distance to the beach and town. On the beach, you can lie down on the available loungers in front of most taverns for free and enjoy the day. Of course, you should also eat something at the respective tavern. The way back from the beach and also from the harbor area in Agia Galini is safe for one or the other to describe as somewhat more strenuous, just like the 3 floors up to Anna's apartment. A challenge with heavy suitcases:) But, with that you can also comfortably eat in one of the many taverns with a clear conscience!!

We had an awesome time at Nikos’s place, he gave very useful tips and his apartment is at walking distance from everything in Matala(as the village is very small). As mentioned in other posts, there are quite a few steps to the place but you get used to it, and it’s a great workout after a big dinner in one of the restaurants below. One of the days it was too windy to be on the beach so we stayed on the terrace of the accommodation with a great view of the sea, the sound of the waves and privacy from others. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you Nikos!

We received an extremely warm welcome from Maria and Manolis, who took care of us during our stay and provided help and insights on the area. Agios Ioannis comes with a great heritage and a number of historical sites to visit at small distance from the village, as well as longer walks you can take among the canyons with a breathtaking view on the mountains. The village is peaceful and essential: if you are looking for a true place away from crowds, a slower pace and hospitable people, we would recommend to spend some time here. Ps. We rented a Suzuki Ignis and our trip was easy enough.

A fancy hippy-tiny-house, small and cozy, with a super nice garden to chill out in! All beaches and places like Matala, Agia Gallini etc. within easy reach! The village with its 5 restaurants and cafe is almost around the corner in 3 minutes on foot! Ciara, the warm and friendly contact person on site, gives good tips and is always available! :) The only flaw was that the washing machine was broken. A good place to find peace! Recommended!

Staying at Maria and her wonderful husband's house was simply overwhelming. The village of Charaso is a beautiful village in the mountains and incredible for relaxation. The couple welcomed us as warmly as the inhabitants of Crete are. We fell in love with the local pastries that were provided to us and the recommendation for the restaurant Gia mas was really worth its weight in gold. Nowhere on the island have we received such loving mezze for so little money. The neighbors were also so incredibly hospitable. Very special greetings go to Eleftheria (I hope that's how you spell it), we miss you very much. We also hope that every visitor will take some cat food with them. Finally, we can only say: nowhere could we have experienced the real Cretan lifestyle better than in our cozy house in the great village of Charaso. We just fell in love.
