To be honest, I am a really happy and helpful person. During your stay, please, do not hesitate to contact me for any questions you may have concering Heraklion. Me and my son George, are always standby and ready to give some piece of advice that hopefully will improve your tour.
Generally, Aitania is a peaceful village. Your stay will be enjoyable and tranquil as there is no noise from neighbors or cars. In our village, you will find traditional cafes that offer Greek coffee, raki, and some days of the week, meze (Kostis' cafe). Additionally, there is a mini-market (Antonis market) where you can find all kinds of necessities, as well as a butcher shop. In the neighboring village (Episkopi), just 2 km away, you will find ATMs, pastry shops, modern cafes, and taverns (Kalikaki & Mourelo tavern).
