Kostantinos
Our house is located just right in the center of the southern Crete in village Megali Vrisi. It has 2 bedrooms, bathroom with WC, living room, kitchen and large courtyard with artificial turf and solar lanterns. There is an air conditioning. The house has its own gas heating. Water heating is carried out by a gas boiler in winter and by solar water heater in summertime. On the veranda outside there is an awning for the sun protection. The TV is equipped with a satellite dish to watch channels from all over the world. The house is equipped with a card switch for electricity (except fridge and Internet). In a few steps there is a bakery, 2 supermarkets, a church, a park and a barbershop. Our house will provide you with a peaceful and comfortable stay in a traditional Cretan village.
I will be glad to host the guests from all of the world. My hobbies are swimming, dancing, hiking. Once you want to take a dip into the traditional countryside environment with all its colors, welcome to our property!
You can visit and travel by car to any part of Crete you like. The highway is 3 km away from the property. To reach the seaside of Heraklion takes you only half an hour drive, and is about 40 kilometers away the opposite side of Tymbakio. In 20 minutes you can find yourself next to the beautiful lake of Zaros along with a lot of paths for hiking; a little bit further there is a gorge and the forest of Rouvas. Towards to Asites village you can see another gorge of Agios Antonios.The Axenti forest is full of huge oaks, it is worth visiting as it is a nice place to relax and located within some kilometers from your accommodation. Moreover, there's Agios Thomas, a traditional village, with 101 churches nearby with the most beautiful of which - Panagia Karidiotisa - with the waterfall. One can see there ancient Roman tombs as well. 3 km away is the district center of Agia Varvara. It has lots of traditional taverns and cafes where you can taste local meals (or "meze") and enjoy your time in a peaceful place. Between Agia Varvara and our village is located a dairy plant with the production of traditional Cretan cheeses from sheep and goat milk.
