Captain Tom
About
Captain Tom serves Crete from Frangokastello 730 11, Greece, a base on the island's south-western coast. Guests who have stayed here have given it a rating of 4.6 out of 5, drawn from 151 reviews. That score places it among the better-reviewed addresses in this part of Crete.
Frangokastello sits well away from the island's busiest resorts, which shapes the kind of stay on offer. Reaching the property is straightforward from Chania, Rethymno and Heraklion, the three main towns on the island, though the drive to the south coast takes longer than the distances suggest. The website http://captaintom.gr/ carries further details about the property. A rating of 4.6 from 151 guests reflects steady approval rather than a single burst of attention.
Guests arriving by air will find Chania and Heraklion the two main points of entry, and the road south from either town leads towards Frangokastello. Ierapetra, Sitia, Agios Nikolaos and Matala lie within the same southern and eastern half of Crete, while Elafonisi is on the far western coast.
Greek is the everyday language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which appears on road signs and menus, so a little familiarity with the letters helps when travelling. Bakeries across the island sell spanakopita and tyropita, and local vineyards produce wines worth trying alongside them. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so it is worth building some slack into any island-hopping plans.
