    クレタ島の昔ながらの家を体感できる素晴らしい宿です。 家は石造りで、長く使われているものですが、その雰囲気を残しつつ、現代的な暮らしに合わせて、綺麗にリフォームされています。 特に、水周りはとても綺麗で使いやすいです。 朝食は食材を頂けたので、キッチンを使って美味しい朝ごはんを食べました。 ギリシャの牛乳は特にとても美味しかったです。 周辺はとても静かで騒音とも無縁です。 小さな村で人や車と出会うことも少ないので(猫を見かける方が多いかも…?)、大切な人とゆっくり2人きりで過ごすのにピッ...

    Wunderschön rustikal und landestypisch, genau das, was man zum Wohlfühlen abseits aller Touristenzentren mag. Man ist absolut ungestört in einem kleinen Häuschen in einem ruhigen Dorf. Manchmal schenkten uns vorbeilaufende Dorfbewohner etwas Obst,...

Traditional Cretan Stone House in the Center of Crete! The house is located in Lyttos, the first known city on Crete during the Minoan age! Here, you will have the chance to walk around the antiquities of the one of the most considerable cities in ancient Crete. Lyttos is a traditional village next to Kastelli, near to Hersonissos and it is on the foot of Lasithi Plateu that you can visit. This place is ideal for those who love nature and adventure. You can live here like native Cretans do!
I am Gregory. I was born and raised in Heraklion, Crete. I study chemistry and I am a postgraduate student in Biochemistry. I love hosting people from all over the world, as I love travelling and meeting new people from different places and cultures! Needless to say, my great love is Music!! I play traditional Cretan music and traditional Greek music. In my profile photo, you can see me with the traditional Cretan costume...! Of course, I will help you whenever you want and I will do my best for you to feel welcome and comfortable. I can drive you at the house from the airport and back. Furthermore, I will let you know about every attraction or what you can do or visit around Crete.
Take your time to walk around the village and its narrow stone-paved streets. If you love nature, you can go beyond the village borders and you will find yourself in the nature, around the numerous olive trees and the Cretan Herbs, like tea or sage! You can also visit the natural fresh water spring that is located outside of Lyctus and enjoy the cool water, as you having a picnic. All the neighbors are very calm, warm and friendly. I can assure you that you will enjoy the hospitality that Cretans have! Naturally, the place is quite peaceful and there is no concern about thieves.
