"A relatively remote corner of the eastern end of Crete is where you’ll find White River Cottages, a collection of stone houses in a valley called Aspros Potamos, whose direct translation gives the hotel its name. It’s a refreshingly tranquil and pastoral experience, with access to some impressively wild countryside and with an atmosphere that’s a fine mix of rough-edged rustic charm and contemporary boutique-hotel polish." - Mark Fedeli
