Przepiękny widok z tarasu na wybrzeże. Widok wschodów słońca był wyjątkowy, a w nocy, z racji odosobnionego położenia, można oglądać gwiazdy i podziwiać drogę mleczną! Bardzo zaangażowany i miły gospodarz, z którym można porozmawiać przy raki...

Olive groves, vineyards, and gentle hills roll down toward the sea, creating a serene setting that is ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, space, and a genuine connection to the local character of the island. Only 5 km from the property, Kouremenos Beach stretches along the coast with golden sand and crystal-clear waters, renowned for its excellent windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions while remaining equally inviting for swimming and relaxation. Chiona Beach, also located approximately 5 km away, offers calm turquoise waters and a selection of traditional seaside tavernas known for fresh fish and authentic Cretan cuisine.
