We are Sean and Helen who moved to Crete in 2005 after three years of planning and preparation.
After 4 months in a caravan and then three months in a tent, we moved into our new home “Arete†on Christmas Eve 2005 with two armchairs, a bed and a roaring log fire.
Our aim is to provide for ourselves as much as possible from our land & animals, the rest we source locally and from our neighbours .
We harvest our olives in the winter providing us with more than enough extra virgin olive oil for the year, grow vegetables all year round in the garden and keep chickens who provide us with fresh eggs every day.
Local knowledge guides us to the best places for picking wild greens “hortaâ€, purslane and fennel, thyme and oregano.
Eventually we hope to keep a goat for cheese and a donkey for a ride to the Kafeneion.
