    This was a very local accommodation with two toilets. It was very comfortable, although the balcony was not connected to the flat. It was outside and around to some steps. Nonetheless, the host was very kind and showed us everything that we needed.

    Αρχικά η υποδοχή από την ιδιοκτήτρια ήταν εξαιρετική, ζεστή καί οικεία. Έπειτα, όλη η εμπειρία ήταν απλά καταπληκτική και ξεπέρασε την κάθε προσδοκία μιας! Το χωριό είναι πανέμορφο! Το σπίτι είχε τα πάντα, ήταν υπέρ άνετο, χαρούμενο και με υπέροχη...

On the first floor of 70 sqm, there are two double sofa beds and one single sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. The house features high-speed internet, television, and air conditioning The traditional village of Pefki is perched like an eagle's nest. In olden times, eagle's nest referred to villages built in such a way as to remain unnoticed by pirates at close range. It is one of Crete's preserved villages with white stone houses and captivating nature. Paths amidst ancient olive trees, cypresses, carob trees, and flowers enchant and rejuvenate the spirit. Please note that you will need a vehicle, as there is no bus service between Makri Yialos and Pefki. What to explore. At a distance of 7 km lies the famous beach of Makry Gialos. The caves of Vreiko and Apoloustres are located at distances of 2.2 and 2.5 km respectively. Enchanting secluded beaches with crystal-clear waters are situated at distances of 10-15 km. In the village, there is the famous tavern "Piperia" and the traditional café "Klimataria". The village of Pefki is geographically situated in an ideal location for travelers who want to visit archaeological sites and beautiful beaches in the prefecture of Lasithi. For example, the Minoan palace of Zakros is located 55km away, the enchanting beaches of Xerokampos are 45km away, the Ha Gorge is 48km away, and Palekastro is 55km away.
Hi, I am Manolis, I live in Athens and I will be glad to host you at my recently renovated family home in Pefki, a village in the south of Crete... I will provide any kind of help and information, if wished.
