Delicious Local Cuisine
The homemade Cretan cuisine was a highlight of my stay, featuring fresh produce right from the garden. Each meal was a good culinary experience that made dining here feel special, especially with the homemade jams and yogurt at breakfast.

Very nice Horse Riding
My horseback riding experience was fantastic. The horses were extremely well cared for, and I felt confident riding even through challenging terrains. The panoramic views during the trail rides were simply amazing.
