Maria
Nestled in the picturesque village of Skalani, Crete, our house offers an unparalleled escape into the heart of Cretan culture and history. Located just a stone's throw away from the legendary Knossos Palace, this charming retreat invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the island's past while indulging in modern comforts and breathtaking vistas. Step inside to discover a cozy living space adorned with tasteful furnishings, creating an ambiance of tranquility and serenity. Sink into the plush sofa as you unwind after a day of exploration, or gather around the dining table to savor a delicious meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The bedroom exudes an air of intimacy and comfort, featuring a sumptuous double-sized bed adorned with crisp linens and soft pillows. Drift off to sleep to the gentle melody of the night breeze, and awaken to the golden rays of the Cretan sun streaming in through the window, offering a stunning panorama of the surrounding landscape. Situated atop a hill overlooking the village, our flat offers an unobstructed vista of rolling hills, verdant vineyards, and the azure expanse of the Aegean Sea stretching out to the horizon.
Maria, a beacon of warmth and compassion, stands at the helm of her bustling household with a grace that belies her 34 years. Married and blessed with two delightful children, she embodies the essence of familial love and unity. As a dedicated family coach, Maria's days are filled with guiding others towards stronger, more connected relationships. Yet, amidst her professional endeavors, she finds solace and joy in the simple pleasures of spending quality time with her loved ones and orchestrating celebrations that bring people together. But perhaps where Maria truly shines is in her talent for celebration and togetherness. With a keen eye for detail and a heart full of love, she delights in orchestrating gatherings that bring family and friends together to create memories that last a lifetime. From intimate dinners to grand festivities, Maria's events are infused with warmth, laughter, and an abundance of love.
Oikia Eftichia's neighborhood is a hidden gem where the hustle and bustle of urban life gives way to a tranquil oasis of peace and serenity. But perhaps the true heart of Oikia Eftichia's neighborhood lies in its people – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Neighbors come together for block parties and community events, sharing laughter, stories, and a sense of belonging that transcends the boundaries of age, race, and background. In times of need, they rally around one another, offering support and solidarity in the face of adversity.
