In May we made a return visit to Footscapes – in fact we’ve been returning every year since Footscapes opened in 2005, which says something about how much we enjoy our holidays there.

Owners/guides Liz and Paul were informative relaxed discreet company. Accommodation was spacious, modern and comfortable. The studio villas are purpose built on a broad ridge with great... More

Villas are spacious, ultra- clean, and with stupendous views all around. If you are walking enthusiasts, Footscapes is hard to beat - Liz and Paul are supremely knowledgeable and courteous guides. If you're a part-time walker (at best) the walks are entirely optional, and the location enables you to visit all parts of Western Crete very easily, with both the... More
