Traditional Family Cretan home!

Located in Drakona village in Kissamos, a village surrounded by picturesque green hills and just some km away from the famous beaches of the western part of Crete. Our home is traditional Cretan and fully equipped for an authentic experience in beautiful Crete. Our home has wifi, washer, all essentials and amenities for a trouble-free and relaxing stay for your family!

This is an authentic, traditional Cretan house, next to the countryside, surrounded by olive trees and picturesque green Cretan hills. Lots of outside spaces, with a wood oven and barbecue, fruit trees on premises. Also, free-range chickens are next to the house on a fenced open field and we can show you how to gather daily fresh organic eggs for preparing your breakfast!

Our traditional home is fully equipped and can sleep up to 5 people. It has one master bedroom with a queen+ size bed and a second bedroom with a double bed and a single bed. An extra person can also sleep on the sofa in the living room if needed. If requested, we can provide high chairs, cribs, and baby cot. Please ask.

• LIVING ROOM
The living room is like a typical Cretan traditional living room. Heirlooms and artifacts decorate the walls. There is a fireplace that you can use if you feel like. A large window overlooks on the main entrance of the house and the front garden and yard. Next, to the living room, you will find a fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials for preparing any meal you feel like.

- OUTDOOR SPACES -
• At the yard, right next to the kitchen, there is a traditional handmade wood oven and a barbecue for the ones who want to experience food cooked on wood-fire.

• On the front and side yards, you will find an outside stone sink for curating and preparing meat for the barbecue and outside furniture for sunbathing or enjoying an afternoon beverage. Late at night, light pollution is minimal and the sky is beautiful.

• You will be able to pick fully fresh organic fruits from the lemon, apricot and apple tree that you will find in our garden. Trees blossom during springtime and at summer are loaded with juicy fruits.

That is of course if there are any left since our previous guests may have eaten them all. In that case, you can find all that you need at the near villages of Spilia and Kolympari where there are many local farmers, fishermen, and butchers offering the most exquisite of Cretan products.

Our house is located at one of the most famous villages of Kissamos prefecture, Drakona, at the west part of Chania city, just some kilometers away from the beaches of the North part of the island.

Ein sehr schönes Objekt. Alles was man zum entspannen in ländlicher Umgebung braucht. Alles was zum wohnen erforderlich ist ist auch vorhanden. Wir haben uns im Urlaub selten so wohlgefühlt. Die Gastgeber sind außerordentlich sympathisch, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einfach nur nette, herzliche Menschen. Dieses Haus ist absolut zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank für alles , liebe Anistea und lieber Kostas. Es war traumhaft bei euch.

Hervorragend

Exzellente Gastgeber, Vermieterin spricht fließend deutsch, das Ferienhaus ist sehr, sehr sauber und gepflegt und hat eine unbeschreibliche Atmosphäre mit liebevollen Details im Haus und Garten. Für Urlauber in Westkreta ist das Haus nur zu empfehlen. In ein paar Minuten hat man die Schnellstraße erreicht, und von da aus sind alle Ziele der Umgebung gut zu erreichen. Flughafen Chania ist ca. 30 Minuten entfernt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden gerne wieder kommen.
