A special place in the mountains, where you can feel the authenticity of Crete. The house itself feels like a small cosy museum with a beautiful garden that faces the mountains. Thanks to the garden the house does not get too hot even the during hotest days even despite its facing south. There are not many people living in the vilage, and since the vilage is situated on the mountain, you feel very private in the house and garden. In the evening you mostly hear distant sounds of sheeps and cicadas. There is a nice taverna just 5 minutes up hill with a spectacular view and great food from localy grown products. There is also an ancient roman city ruins worth visiting that took us around 40 minutes of hiking with kids. And of course its close enough to the sea to explore diferent beaches on the north western part of the island. In conclusion – we felt nostalgic about this place in five minutes after leaving it.
