If you’re looking for a charming house with plenty of history and character then Pasiphae Art House is ideal. It’s very pretty and well equipped with lots of sun terraces to enjoy the spectacular views. Ioanna is a very thoughtful host who provides lots of useful information on places to visit and to eat locally and kindly left food for our first mornkng’s breakfast (the nearest shops are about 20 minutes’ drive). We particularly enjoyed visiting the donkey sanctuary in the village where you get to meet friendly donkeys, horses, dogs and cats rescued by a local British couple who do amazing work. A lovely place to stay for a few days within easy reach of Ierapetra, the beaches to its east and many historic sites. But you do need a car.
