Description
Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay at Arete Crete in your own private apartment on the 1st floor of our home.
Your spacious, sunny and tranquil private apartment, overlooks our organic olive grove, flower and vegetable gardens with your own parking space and a separate entrance.
SPACIOUS (42 sq meters) Fully Furnished and equipped, self-catering apartment, suitable for any season.
PRIVATE PARKING and independent access to the apartment gives guests the freedom to come and go as they please.
2 BALCONIES, a private rear balcony off the bedroom and a large front balcony off the kitchen, shower room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen.
AGRO TOURISM, run as a small holding/hobby farm offering the rural experience of village life, we have vegetable gardens, chickens, olive trees, a fabulous flower garden, a walled courtyard and abundant wildlife.
LOCATED conveniently but not too closely to the beaches of Maleme, 3kms away, Platanias, 5kms away or a short drive west away from the populated tourist areas towards Kissamos, Kolimbari and Rhodopos.
POPULAR destinations such as Paleochora, Sougia, Elafonisi and many more are just an unforgettable drive away, across west Crete's dramatic countryside and coastal roads.
IDEAL location for walkers, bird-watchers, history and archaeology enthusiasts, offering the perfect base from where to explore or just to relax and enjoy the Cretan countryside.
We, the owners Helen & Sean live here on this wonderful island all year round and can give you local information and advice on where to visit and how to get there, where to eat and much more. We happily take guests on local walks around the area and further afield for more adventurous walks, all free of charge.
