Tzitzifes mansion Chania is an absolutely exciting place based on a traditional cretan (Tzitzifian) stone-house and modern styled (without AC, thank you), also very tasteful designed by Antonis. Tzitzifes is an old village at the food of Lefka Ori, the very famous Taverna Tzitzifia is a five minute walk downhill, two other good taverns are on the main road. Three cheese factories I found in the village. The view from the house and from the terrace is spectacular. You can see the coast from nearly Georgioupolis especially at night until Rethynmon area. In the morning, before and while sunrise, you could see far away the mountains of Psiloritis like a tender Japanese ink drawing. I used to walk with my dog Filos, a German Shephard born in Apokoronas, every early morning for up to two hours in the nice surrounding of Tzitzifes. I walked to all municipalities in the neighbourhood and I´ve met so much nice people, had so much impressions which seemed to be a gift for my soul.
Antonis resp. his wife welcomed us in a very lovely way. They told us to feel free in using anything (Oil, wine, Raki, homemade sweets, doggy food, fruits, vegetables) in their house, not only words - it´s exactly their mental attitude and they are happy if you do so.
We could really relax in this exciting location and always felt like being personal guests. Our host is intellectual and leading engaged in health care projects, a very interesting person.
