Quiet retreat, stay with locals in the center of Zakros Village 🌿
🌿 A quiet corner of Crete – more than just a stay
If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic side of Crete – far from the crowded tourist centers – you might have just found your place.
We live in Zakros, one of the island’s most untouched and beautiful regions, and we’re happy to share a separate part of our home with you. 🌞
You’ll have your own private bedroom, living room and bathroom, while the kitchen is shared with us – which often turns into a highlight, not a compromise.
We love cooking, and if you’re open to it, we’re always happy to introduce you to simple, honest Cretan food – the kind locals actually eat. 🍝
This isn’t a hotel. It’s a slower, more personal way to experience the island.
🌊 Nearby, you’ll find some of the most stunning spots in Crete: – Xerokampos: crystal clear water, almost untouched – Vai Palm Beach: a unique palm forest by the sea – Ierapetra: sunny southern vibes and great food – Hidden beaches, gorges, and places you won’t easily find on your own
We’re always happy to help with tips, routes, and local recommendations – the kind that don’t show up on Google.
The area is quiet, raw, and incredibly beautiful. Perfect if you want to slow down, explore, or simply breathe a bit deeper.
If this sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to host you.
