Olympia and Antonio offer a wonderful studio on the groundfloor of their villa, which is built in a secluded spot hugging the side wall of a spectacular mountain gorge, less than a kilometer from the sea. The sea is still in sight. You can walk to the sea, but it should be mentioned that renting a car is really recommended if you plan to stay at this location. If you're in need of some very peaceful nights, like we did, this is where you should go: the only sound you'll hear is the wind in the pines. Even though the studio is connected to the villa where Oli and Toni live, your privacy is ensured. At the same time, Oli and Toni are present/easy to reach in case you have questions. The house itself is in a quiet spot, which can be reached by driving less than a kilometer over an unpaved road, but at the same time we found it a very convenient spot for to explore the Lasithi province. There are large supermarkets in the regional centre of Ierapetra, which is only a 10 minute drive from the house. Lovely tavernas and beach are around the corner. We did day trips during which we went on hikes and town visits near Vaï, Kato Zakros, Agios Nikolaos, Sitia and even Knossos (1,5 hour drive). A very charming hike is just around the corner: the house is the closest house to the quite magical Milonas waterfall, which can be reached in a 30-minute walk. If you enjoy hiking, don't miss the Pervolakia gorge which is only a 20 minute drive from the house - It will take your breath away and the advantage of Lasithi is that you hardly have to share the magnificent views with anybody else, unless you include the mountain goats in the count. So if you're curious to explore Lasithi, don't look any further. This is it! Enjoy.
