A unique lodging. The Asterousia Mountains form a natural barrier between a valley and the south coast. Your car climbs a steep winding road to the small village of Paranimfi. Most continue on an even steeper winding road to the beach town of Tris Ekklisies. Pretty much the only place to stay up in the mountains in the area is this little wooden house. And what a place - facing beautiful, austere mountains, looking down on sheep meadows. The house is small and primitive yet beautifully designed and built. Mid- March it was warm enough to enjoy being outside, sometimes into the evening. Spectacular walks right at your door. Heraklion and other excursions an hour’s drive. Stelios, the engaging owner/designer, will likely meet you and show you how it all works. Good simple food and conversation are found at Manolis’ Sunny Hill Snack Bar Café just outside Paranimfi, another little wooden oasis. Hours depend on the season.
