Revamped Minimalist Stone Country House

Nestled on the foot of mount Giouchtas, in the picturesque village of Archanes, our stone countryhouse is located in one of the most central and beautiful parts of the area. Archanes are 20 minutes away from the centre of Heraklion(15km), 15 minutes away from Heraklion's International airport, 15 minutes away from the famous Minoan palace of Knossos, as well as 20 minutes away from numerous beautiful beaches. Situated in the center of the most important wine-producing region of Crete, it has a 5000 years old history, while excavations conducted in the last 50 years have brought to light a lot of sites dating back to the Minoan period. The village is also very famous for its typical Cretan architecture. Most of the houses have been restored recently and Archanes has won the second award as “the best restored village in Europe”. The house enjoys a spacious interior and a private garden, which is protected by a peripheral wall. This is a typical characteristic of old Cretan houses of the area. Guests enter the private garden through the gate which then leads to the main building. I am always at the disposal of my guests, so that I can make their holiday problem-free. My guests can reach me at my mobile phone, text me or send a message directly to my inbox. Nestled on the foot of mount Giouchtas, in the picturesque village of Archanes, the home is located in one of the most central and beautiful parts of the area. Archanes is 20 minutes away from the center of Heraklion and beaches. I always recommend to my guests a car hire, so that they can enjoy their holidays by visiting plenty of places each day. Furthermore, there is a free parking very close to the house. The country house is only 20’ away from the “Nikos Kazantzakis Airport” and the port. The archeological site of Knossos is 15’ away.

Rafeio Roustic Maisonette

Ένα οίκημα πετρόχτιστο του 1930 που αναπαλαιώθηκε και ανακαινίστηκε πλήρως το 2023 κρατώντας τα βασικά του χαρακτηριστικά. Υπήρξε το Ραφείο του χωριού της Επισκοπής Ηρακλείου για αυτό και ονομάστηκε Rafeio Roustic Maisonette. Μόλις λίγα χιλιόμετρα από τις αμμώδης παραλίες,το αεροδρόμιο του Ηρακλείου και το Κέντρο Ηράκλειο. Ένας προορισμός μακρυά από τον θόρυβο της πόλης και συνάμα τόσο κοντά στη πόλη.
