I simply can not imagine a better way to immerse yourself in the life of a region, to explore hidden corners and appreciate nuances while enjoying the benefits and enormous satisfaction of traveling under your own power. These are experiences you cannot have behind the wheel of a car, or on a train or a tour bus.
We are near a nature reserve, with plenty of stunning walks to be had straight from the house, and lots of wild birds, hares and the occasional Cretan hedgehog. The Area is full of wild flowers, herbs and vegetables which change with the seasons.
Those who love ancient history are a stone's throw away from the ancient minoan cemetery of Fourni. And a 5 minute drive from the famous archaeological site of Knosos.
You mid need a Car. The road from the village is short but steep, and part of the local color (watch for the sheep grazing by the side of the road). Spend the day driving around and visiting the sights, and come back in the evening to relax with wine and cheese while watching the sun set over the hills.
Life time experience.
