Mandarini House was built in 1935 and fully restored in 2019.We tried to keep the character of the house avoiding the use of plastic and alluminum.In this small village live 12 people and its at the heart of Sitia ‘s UNESCO Global Geopark.The starting point to pass through the gorge and get at the Karoumes beach is here.
