De ligging was erg goed, wij wilden naar Knossos en dat is niet ver weg. Vlakbij Heraklion. Heel gezellig huis met diverse eet- en zithoeken en meerdere terrassen. Midden in de olijfgaarden, erg landelijk. Vriendelijke gastheer!

עמנואל הוא אחד מהמיוחדים שפגשנו ביוון. ניכר שכל דבר בבית נבנה במחשבה והרבה אהבה . השהות שלנו הייתה משפחתית ונעימה בזכותו ובזכות האווירה הנעימה של הבית והמיקום הפסטורלי.

Tilisos and Moni, small villages just west of Heraklion on the island of Crete, offer a blend of natural beauty, traditional Cretan character, and fascinating archaeological heritage. Visitors can explore the ancient Minoan settlement of Tylissos, where excavated houses, storage areas, and artifacts reveal everyday life from over three millennia ago. Walking through the village streets brings you close to stone-built homes, small churches, and local cafés where you can enjoy authentic Cretan dishes and homemade raki. The surrounding hills and countryside provide tranquil walking paths with panoramic views, ideal for those who enjoy hiking and discovering rural Crete at a relaxed pace. Not far from the village lies the gorge of Almyros and the broader Psiloritis foothills, where nature lovers can enjoy scenic routes, small chapels, and quiet plateaus. Within a 15 min ride from the property convenient super markets and dining options can be found. you’ll find several beaches within a very quick drive, each offering a different coastal experience. Ellinoperamata, roughly 6 km away, is a long, mostly sandy beach that feels more natural and less developed than the busier resort areas; its open exposure to the north often brings refreshing breezes and occasional waves, making it appealing for wind-related water sports while still offering quiet corners for relaxed seaside time. Not far from there, Pantanassa Beach (about 6.9 km) sits beside a small, picturesque port and offers a mix of sand and pebbles, typically calm waters, and a few organized amenities such as sunbeds and umbrellas; it’s a great spot if you like a laid-back beach day with the option to stroll around the harbor or visit the nearby monastery perched on a pine-covered slope. For something livelier, Ammoudara (around 7.6 km) is one of the area’s most popular beaches, a long sandy coastline packed with cafés, beach bars, water-sports centers, and full visitor facilities
