This place is perfect. 20 minutes from Knossos and Heraklion, with the incredible museum, but completely in the countryside. Nature all around. a traditional cottage with a fire and amazing views, and a huge, pretty garden. Olive trees and vineyards on every side, and if you are there in Spring, you can see the snow on Mount Ida, where some legends say that Zeus was born. The orange blossom and lavender of the garden smell incredible in the evenings. Cosy, comfy, gorgeous and so incredibly welcoming, it feels like home. We can't wait to come back.
