Housesit Crete

After spending two weeks in Crete, we leave with mixed feelings 🤔. Even in the off-season, it was surprisingly busy, and the cruise-ship crowds made it feel different from what we’re used to. During our 3-day road trip before the housesit, we realized that many of the cultural sites are too crowded, and a lot of the offbeat nature highlights require a 4x4 to reach.

Our housesit didn’t exactly live up to our previous experiences either. It was quite dirty and the facilities were basic (the 'kitchen' was basically a double burner with one pot, one pan and a few hairy kitchen utensils). Or maybe we've just been lucky in the past 😅.

That said, Crete isn’t without its charms! We explored hidden gorges 🌄, pitch black caves 🦇, picturesque mountain villages ⛪ and quiet coves 🏖️ and Miel climbed a mountain to get a glimpse of Lefka Ori's lunar landscape ⛰️. Plus, our house’s location near Chania was perfect for coffee shop hopping and trying out vegan restaurants ☕ 🍴!Read more
