In the village of Rodopos, west of the municipality of Platanias you can expect an unforgettable holiday stay, surrounded by nature and the countryside. Situated on the peninsula of Rodopou, 25 kilometers from the city of Chania, it is a paradise away from it all where you can enjoy privacy and quiet in a spacious and comfortable home with local welcoming hosts. This traditional stone house of 670 years with great history accommodates up to 6 adults plus an infant. It provides an open plan kitchen living area with dining table and television. There are 3 bedrooms with double beds and 2 with single beds, and a bathroom with bathtub. Around the house there are patios and the garden where you can enjoy your afternoon coffee and the kids can be outdoors. Everywhere there are flowers and herbs such as oregano and thyme, fresh, which you can use for your food, and guests are free to pick and choose depending on season from the various fruits and vegetables the hosts' garden offers, which is directly below the property.
