A delightful stone and wood cottage in the mountains. Really loved the decor and renovation - feels a bit like a Cretan chalet! Tucked away in a traditional village surrounded by vineyard and olive groves. Try to go for a walk or run in the groves - the vistas are gorgeous.
Well located between Herakleion and Knossos (easy 25 minutes drive) and the very beautiful, remote beaches to the south (50-60 minute drive depending on which you chose). Amazing place and Cretan hospitality!
Fun Crete culture fact: the village Petrokefalo (where this home is located) is the hometown of Captain Michalis in Nikos Kazantzakis's famous novel of Crete, Freedom and Death
