The 300 metres’ walk to the gorge is worth the trouble. Following the European path E4, on the way to the gorge, the famous Valley of the Dead, you cannot miss the archaeological site of the place, the Minoan palace.

Our newly built “KATERINA” apartments and maisonettes situated amphitheatrically all in Cretan style are just opposite the rocks of the hill.

Crossing the alley of our domain the scent of the lentisk, the perfume of oregano and sage wish you a warm welcome.

The view of the green plain, the massive rocks and the blue sea is breath taking. Every one of our apartments and maisonettes has separate bedrooms, a sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning and a fridge.

You can make a barbecue on your individual balcony and thus avoid dinner out if you do not want to. In your fridge you will be offered local fresh drinks, the famous Cretan raki and wine from our own vineyard.

From our verandas sitting on the couch hammocks you can enjoy the silence of nature, the singing of the birds and the whisper of the leaves.

We do not consider our guests as customers but treat them like members of our family.
Of course, we are always at your disposal for any information concerning trips, excursions or visits in our region.
We recommend strongly that you visit the Eastern end and last stopping place of Crete.

Swimming in the spotless sea or sunbathing on the golden beach is a real delight, whereas nudism in discrete creeks is also possible. Also, the flat rocks of the place invite you to go fishing with a fly line while diving with a fishing gun is a strong experience.

Just next to you, you can visit the ruins of the Minoan palace, a witness of the most ancient civilisation in Europe, a history that goes back to the dawn of time.

Go through the Valley of the Dead, admire the oleanders waving in the wind and the rocky caves that shelter ancient tombs on either side of the dry riverbed.

For those who seek adventure and excitement there is Castella mountain to climb and the rock walls at the entrance of the gorge to scale.

For speleologists the Palekita cave is a challenge and an opportunity to taste our pure dry sea salt from rock hollows on the way to it.

At the seaside restaurants you can enjoy traditional home cooked specialities, excellent local products, olive oil, vegetables, fresh fish …

Before you leave this legendary place, remember to visit the water spring of Pano Zakros.

Along with the souvenirs that will keep you company for the rest of your life, do not forget to take away some extra virgin olive oil, the boast of our country and the most precious treasure our rich Minoan land has ever offered us.

Our constant concern is that you enjoy your stay with us.
