It’s worth noting that our houses are in a village around 14km from Heraklion City. The busy beaches of Heraklion as Ammoudara beach - Amnisos beach, are less than 20 minutes away.
The village itself offers small and friendly supermarkets and a handful of sleepy tavernas with panoramic views of the mountains, The sea and olive groves.
Is this the right place for you? Do you want to taste Cretan village life? Do you want to slip away from the hustle-bustle of the modern world and enjoy a gentle and relaxed lifestyle but knowing that a short drive away you can enjoy the beach bars or Heraklion’s hectic and 24hr culture.
The best of both worlds and it’s for you to choose how you spend your day!
