Beautiful house, fantastic location
This house has absolutely everything you need to enjoy a vacation in Crete. Outstanding beaches are within easy driving distance. The nearby towns of Tymbaki and Mires are full of great choices for shopping and eating. If you have any interest in Bronze Age Minoan culture, the Palace of Phaistos and the Agia Triada Villa are very close (both sites are quite interesting, especially the latter which is only 3 km distant from Phaistos). And if you just want a quiet place to relax, the house has two patios to choose from, an excellent cable television, and even a dishwasher which is pretty rare for these sort of rentals in my experience. All in all, an excellent experience that I enjoyed very much. Highly recommended!

geoff l.

very comfortable, well equipped property in quiet old area of village.
had a great stay, beaches within 20 minutes, property was well equipped, including kitchen facilities, however we usually ate out, would highly recommend the taverna on the street at the square, just ask what they are cooking today, we got a different excellent meal every night we ate there. House is very quiet, very comfy bed. Agent is friendly and on hand should assistance be required. Should we return to Crete we would certainly stay a second time.

Perfect - fabulous house in a great location !
This is a wonderful house in a wonderful location !! If you are looking for a truly Greek experience we cannot recommend this place enough. House Potami is just lovely! Very sizeable with everything you could need. They really have thought of everything. There is plenty of space to put your stuff, in the bedroom, lounge and kitchen. It is spotless. All you would need in the kitchen. Very comfortable bed, crisp sheets. Air con upstairs and downstairs, also a quiet fan above bed. Outdoor areas also great, front garden under shade of a Mediterranean tree, very occasional passers by. Upstairs terrace of good proportions with sunbeds and dining table and chairs. From the onset, the service from the owner was excellent. Quick responses to queries before we went and ongoing Mark was happy to help us with all we needed. Vori, only an hour and a half drive south from Heraklion, is a quaint village with a small square. Best ice cream ever at the café/taverna, lovely café frappe. There is one tavern, Alekos, run by husband and wife, very nice indeed - gorgeous garden surroundings and delicious food. Three cafes on the square. Small supermarket open all day, possibly not Sundays. We loved that there were empty ruined buildings next to bright inhabited ones. Truly a Greek village experience. Took day trips to Phaistos (ancient Minoan palace), Gortyn (ancient Roman capital), Minoan tomb, Matala where hippies inhabited caves (ancient Roman tombs) in 1960s. There is a beach at Matala and also a quieter beach nearby at Kalamaki with free sunbeds at the tavernas - all this within 5-30 minutes drive from House Potami. We have stayed in many properties booked via websites such as Ownersdirect, this is one of the best!

Wir waren total überrascht
Wir haben schon oft in Griechenland eine Ferienwohnung gehabt. Aber noch keine ,so wie diese ,in der alles vorhanden war. Von Lebensmitteln, Gebäck , Honig ,usw..Ich kann gar nicht alles aufzählen. Zusätzlich wurden wir noch von der lieben Nachbarin Maria mit Obst und Gemüse aus ihrem Garten versorgt. Es fehlte wirklich an nichts. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ganz ruhig gelegen in einer Seitenstraße. Man konnte auf der der schönen Dachterrasse oder in der Patio frühstücken. Bäcker und gute Tavernen sind fussläufig in wenigen Metern zu erreichen. Wir möchten auf jeden Fall dort noch mal einen Urlaub verbringen. Vielen Dank an Mark und Nadine.

Charmante maison de village crétois
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, nous n'avions jamais logé dans une maison aussi bien équipée, Mark a pensé à tout, et Nadine, qui nous a reçu, est très accueillante et disponible en cas de besoin. Je recommande vivement.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen!
Ein schönes Haus in schöner Lage: zentral und gleichzeitig ruhig. Alles wie angegeben, darüber hinaus ein sehr freundlicher und persönlicher Kontakt zum Vermieter. Vori selbst ist klein und hat aufgeschlossene Menschen. Man kommt leicht ins Gespräch. Die Taverne Alekos empfehlen wir sehr. Die Kirchen sind offen, das ethnologische Museum ist bekannt für seine Ausstellung über kretische Alltagskultur. Strände sind schön und mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen und die Ausgrabungen in Agios Triada und Phaistos (minoische Siedlungen) den Besuch wert.

village life close to the beach
The style and the equipment of the house corresponded exactly to our standard. The owner Mark, through internet, is very attentive to his guests, and on the place, Nadine is present and ready to answer all the questions. The house is at the border of the village, surrounded with orchards. Next door, there is an humble and ancient chapell. In the village. you find a impressive museum of popular traditions, a minimarket, an excellent bakery, and coffeeshops with terraces. A truck with fresh fishes to buy came on the street in a morning. What a shame to not be able to have conversations with the inhabitants in Greek.
