What a magical place. We took beautiful hikes up to the natural spring, and down to Meskla. We cooked dinner in the very well-equipped kitchen and read by the fire in the evenings. We enjoyed the views by day and stars by night. It was so peaceful and relaxing being in this lovely stone house in the mountains. Zourva is tucked right up against a great natural reserve and it's intriguing to think about the adventures to be had right outside the door. I'd love to come back and stay longer. Thank you to Roula and her mom for their incredible hospitality. Roula has put together a tremendous guidebook to the area which was much appreciated because it made our two hikes so much easier. Roula's home was a total highlight of our first trip to Crete.
