" great villa with lovely views. Almirida beach was great for snorkeling on left and safe for swimming on right with huge waves when the wind got up. Polis also good snorkeling. small cove the other side of Plaka fantastic, remote,great fish, sandy but no amenities Rethymnon great shopping not just tourist things avoid taverna's on quay side as they are twice the price Chania great but hot, saturday fruit and veg market a must, behind best western hotel at top point of Chania 8-noon a visit to the re-cycled glass factory just past Plaka a must hand luggage items only! our last day today and the clouds have arrived to see us off, must be time to go home. ps floors in villa get very slippery when wet. "Vilė tė madhe me shikime bukuroshe. Almirida plazh ishte i madh pėr snorkeling tė majtė dhe tė sigurta pėr notim tė drejtė me valė e madhe kur e mori era up. POLIS gjithashtu mirė snorkeling. Vogėl rob nga ana e Plaka fantastike, tė largėt, peshk i madh, me rėrė por nuk amenities Rethymnon madh turistik pazar jo vetėm gjėra tė shmangur taverna e nė anėn kalate si ata janė dy herė mė i madh se ēmimi Chania por tė ngrohtė, e shtuna dhe e frutave veg njė treg duhet, mė sė miri pas perėndimore nė hotel lartė Chania pika e 8-mesditė njė vizitė nė ri-cycled fabrikė qelqi vetėm njė Plaka kaluara duhet tė bagazhit tė dorės items only! tonė tė fundit ditėn e reve dhe sot kanė ardhur pėr tė parė na off, duhet tė jetė kohė tė shkojnė nė shtėpi. ps dysheme nė vilė shumė tė rrėshqitshėm kur merrni patharė.

"The last night of our holiday has arrived and we are very sad to be leaving In Crete for 2 weeks, one of them spent here in lovely villa Sophia . really enjoyed the pool, Our children learned to swim in it- so very successful, local beach very pleasant and safe for children. But definitely worth a trip to Falasarna on the western side, stunning beach, turquoise sea, found a little cove beautiful. "Nata e fundit e pushimeve tona ka mbėrritur dhe ne jemi shumė tė pikėlluar pėr tė lėnė Nė Kretė pėr 2 javė, njėri prej tyre kėtu nė shpenzuar goxha vilė Sofia. Vėrtetė gėzuar pishinė, Fėmijėt tanė mėsuar tė notoni nė-it nė mėnyrė shumė tė suksesshme, lokale plazh shumė tė kėndshme dhe tė sigurtė pėr fėmijėt. Por patjetėr me vlerė njė udhėtim nė Falasarna nė anėn perėndimore, mahnitėse plazh, det bruz, gjendet njė liman pak e bukur.
Too hot when we were here to enjoy Chania although it did look very pretty Too hot kur ne jemi kėtu pėr tė gėzojnė Chania, edhe pse ka shumė tė shikojmė pretty
Villa is very cleverly designed, great feeling of space we never got on top of each other. thanks also for the selection of books and DVD's it felt like home from home - without the homework. Villa ėshtė shumė cleverly tė krijuar, ndjenja e hapėsirė e madhe, ne kurrė nuk e mori nė krye tė njėri-tjetrit. Thanks edhe pėr zgjedhjen e librave dhe DVD's it ndjehet si nė shtėpi nga shtėpia - pa e shtėpisė.

" We've had a lovely holiday. the villa is fantastic , beautifully positioned, clean and very well equipped. views - stunning, "Ne kemi patur njė pushim tė kėndshėm. Vilė ėshtė e fantastike, tė pozicionuar bukur, tė pastėr dhe tė pajisur shumė mirė. Shikime - mahnitėse,
Frankie's recommendations with regard to beaches and places to eat are all worth trying , especially "Dimitris" in Almirida, and "Aposperitis" in Gavalahori. Frankie rekomandimet nė lidhje me plazhe dhe vende pėr tė ngrėnė tė gjithė janė duke u pėrpjekur me vlerė, veēanėrisht "Dimitris" nė Almirida, dhe "Aposperitis" nė Gavalahori. Our two young boys loved the pool - in fact they loved everything so much they want to live here- Jonė e dy djemve tė dashur tė rinj pishinė - nė fakt ata gjithēka deshi kaq shumė duan tė jetojnė kėtu -
so I suspect we will be back again!" kėshtu qė i dyshuari ne do tė kthehet pėrsėri! "

"Oh well it's the last day of our holiday and although we have just spent the most fantastic three weeks here, "Oh it's edhe ditėn e fundit tė pushimeve tona dhe edhe pse kemi shpenzuar vetėm mė fantastike tre javė kėtu,
we could all happily stay for another three. ne mund tė qėndrojnė pėr tė gjitha lumturisht tre.
The location of Sophia's house is absolutely beautiful. Vendi i Sophia shtėpia ėshtė absolutisht e bukur. stunning views, peace and quiet and a lovely villa that provides real home from home comforts. This is our second visit to Crete, and we know for sure it won't be the last. Visits to Chania and Rethymon town were great for both shopping and eating out. Lake kourna is a great day out, providing some breath taking scenery. To be quite honest there is nothing here to dislike. trullosės shikime, qetėsi dhe njė goxha vilė qė ofron reale nga shtėpia nė shtėpi comforts. Kjo ėshtė tonė tė dytė vizitė nė Kretė, dhe e dimė me siguri se nuk do tė jetė i fundit. viziton tė Chania dhe Rethymon qytet tė madh pėr tė dy ishin pazar ngrėnie dhe jashtė. Liqeni kourna ėshtė njė ditė e madhe jashtė, duke ofruar disa pamje duke marrė frymė. Pėr tė jenė krejt tė ndershme nuk ka asgjė kėtu pėr tė zėt.
Thanks Ruth and John for providing the opportunity for us to stay in such a beautiful place as Aspro . Thanks Ruth dhe Xhon pėr dhėnien e mundėsisė pėr ne tė tillė pėr tė qėndruar nė njė vend tė bukur si Aspro.
hope to visit again in the future. shpresė pėr tė vizituar pėrsėri nė tė ardhmen.


" Lovely villa, peaceful, private, with everything we needed (especially once electricity supply sorted out) Frankie provides a great service, is easily contactable and helped with any questions we had (like arranging for our jeep to get towed out of the mud halfway down a steep track to the beach; Arranging for an alternative villa while the electrics were fixed here; "Lovely vilė, paqėsore, private, me gjithshka qė ne e nevojshme (sidomos dikur furnizimit me energji elektrike tė renditura sipas jashtė) Frankie ofron njė shėrbim tė madh, ėshtė e lehtė contactable dhe ndihmoi me ndonjė pyetje ne kishim (si pėr rregullimin xhips tonė pėr tė marrė towed nga i prapambetur nė gjysmė tė rrugės poshtė njė udhė pėr tė pjerrta nė plazh; organizimin pėr njė alternativė vilė ndėrsa u electrics fikse kėtu;
and keeping us updated on our exit options when XL Airways went bust!!!) dhe mbajtja e na pėrditėsuar mbi opsionet tona dalje XL Airways kur shkoi bust!!!)
Frankie will undoubtedly continue to provide an excellent service with her new company .we enjoyed, and recommend: any drive south over the white mountains - spectacular. Frankie padyshim do tė vazhdojė tė ofrojė njė shėrbim tė shkėlqyer me kompaninė e saj tė ri. Gėzonte ne, dhe tė rekomandojė: ndonjė restorant rrugės jug mbi malet e bardhė - spektakolare.
Frangokastello (fortress & beach) via the Impros gorge - the road down the side of the mountains is still under construction and a bit hairy in places, but the views over to the south are incredible. Frangokastello (kala & plazh) me anė tė grykės Impros - rrugėn poshtė anėn e maleve ėshtė akoma nė ndėrtim e sipėr dhe pak vende nė flokė, por mbi pikėpamjet nė jug janė tė pabesueshėm. Sougia beach - again, amazing drive,(particularly great beach for "au naturel")pebbly (sandy) Sougia plazh - pėrsėri, amazing drive, (veēanėrisht tė plazhit tė madh pėr "au naturel") i mbuluar me gur zalli (me rėrė)

Falassarna beach on west side of island - miles of sand & dunes, busy weekends.well worth visiting Chania for shopping and to eat if like us you prefer small quiet beaches & coves there are only two nearby the best one is just before Kera near the top of the hill park on the road and take the winding track on foot don't be tempted to drive down (as we did ) you won't be able to get back, even in a 4x4! the other is just past Plaka go through the town and bear left. Falassarna Plazhi nė anėn perėndimore tė ishullit - milje e rėrės & dunes, zene weekends.well vlerė vizitues Chania pėr pazar dhe pėr tė ngrėnė si edhe ne, nėse ju preferoni tė vogėl tė qetė plazhet & limane ka vetėm dy tė afėrt mė tė mirė ėshtė vetėm para njė Kera pranė majė tė kodrės park nė rrugė dhe tė marrin udhė nė kėmbė gjarpėrim nuk tempted tė jetė pėr tė pėrzėnė poshtė (si ne e bėmė) nuk do tė keni mundėsi tė kthehet, edhe nė njė 4x4! e tjera ėshtė vetėm e kaluara Plaka vazhdo nėpėr qytet dhe e bartin majtė. probably worth asking for directions, but worth it. ndoshta duke i kėrkuar me vlerė pėr drejtime, por kjo vlerė.
ENJOY!! Enjoy!!
ps if you want to rent DVD's in Kalyves , take your passport & driving license as ID" ps nėse doni tė merrni me qira DVD sė nė Kalyves, merrni pasaportėn & driving licence si ID "
