Amazing little gem
Exo Mouliana is a little village away from the usual tourist route but lays on the main road so it’s easy to get to places. Other villages we visited would have a winding narrow road you have to navigate for half an hour just to get to the main road. This place is very conveniently located however the house itself is high on the hill so you don’t hear the road or the noise from the centre of the village. In fact it was quiet and peaceful at night and not hot at all thanks to the light night breeze. Mosquitoes were the only downside but I found some repellent plugs in the house. There is an air conditioning if required but we hardly used it (stayed in mid June). Local taverna served excellent food. Closest city, Sitia, with lovely beaches and equally excellent restaurants is 20 min away by car. Very quiet and not swamped with tourists so prices are lower than in the western part of Crete. The house itself although small had everything you would want from a rental cottage and more. Michalis the host couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. He really looked after us and supplied lots of advice about what to visit and where to eat. The view from the terrace is absolutely breathtaking and there is a mulberry tree, an apricot tree and a lemon tree in the garden all full of ripe fruit. I would gladly stay there again.
