About this property

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.
