OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE (The real star)
>Fully covered, a lot more surface than indoor. Fits perfectly with all year round hot climate where indoor space is rather auxilliarly serving only cooking and sleeping.
>Main veranda on the ground floor taking up the whole cottage length. Covered with chestnut tree log pergola and bamboo panels. Built-in super-long deep sofa, perfect for afternoon naps or hot summer night sleeping under the starry sky. More than enough room for a 6 chair dinning table.
>Upper veranda above the indoor space taking up all of its footprint. Accessible from the main veranda through staircase. Also covered the same way as the main ground floor veranda but the sea view from there is absolutely breathtaking. The best place to enjoy morning coffee, swing on the hammock swing, drink afternoon aperitifs or listen to the sound of the sea amidst the quiet night.
GETTING AROUND
Our village is 60 km away from Heraklion airport & it is not accessible with public transportation.
Local bus stops in a previous village (Pyrgos) 16 km away, so a car is necessary.
The route from Heraklion passes through three villages of Heraklion prefecture: Archanes-Charakas-Paranimfoi and ends to Treis Ekklisies village. The last 4 km to the village is dirt road but it's flat and in a very good condition, suitable to be driven comfortably by a small conventional passenger car.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-There is no cleaning service in between your stay. The house will be in perfect condition cleaningwise upon your arrival. There will also be available the house's full set of cleaning equipment (brooms, mops, detergents) so you can suit yourselves the same way you do in your own home.
-There will be 1 extra set of linen (sheets, towels etc) for every 2-3 days of stay.
-Village's grocery store is open from start of June till start of September. Outside this season groceries can be done on your way to Treis Ekklisies in the village of Harakas or Pyrgos where relatively large super markets are. The house is usually stocked with dry food, homegrown vegetables & fruit enough for 2-3 full days
-At least one beach tavern is open non stop from start of April till end of October. The other two open from start of May till end of September
-Due to the rugged landscape only one of the three cellphone signal providers in Greece (company name: COSMOTE) offers signal for cellphones. If (when you're in roaming mode) your national provider doesn't cooperate with COSMOTE, then your cellphone will be inactive. However communications can be made through the high speed internet available at the house. You can make phone calls via all internet VoIP services
-For hygienic reasons, there are no waste bins inside the village. There are two large containers at the village entrance. So put as many of your garbage as you can in the large garbage bags provided and when filled take a short 1 minute drive till the disposal containers.
-During August, there might be short temporary interruptions in water supply (2 or 3 total, non-consecutive days, one day at a time). The house is equipped with water reservoir capable to fill all water needs for 2 consecutive days. Dishes, toilet flushing, showers can be done as usual, only the water flow will have less preassure than normal

Summary: This is the second time we have stayed at George and Anna’ house. As soon as we arrived we felt at peace. The house is in a perfect spot. An easy walk down to the beach. Highly recommended. 9/3/24.

Summary: 9/15/21 My wife and I just had the pleasure of seeing in this wonderful beach house. Driving in Crete can be difficult but once we arrived we couldn't have been happier. the views from the rooftop terrace can't be beat. The beach and clear beautiful water led to hours of relaxation. I have to mention that the little restaurant run and named for the owner Marinella provided us with wonderful food every night. She went so far as to ask us what she could make for us. All together a great experiance. All I can say is go! Richard

Summary: Georges and Anna are wonderful hosts. they go out of their way to welcome you. the cottage is beautiful and very relaxing. the terrace is stunning if you enjoy a peaceful beer or wine soaking up the amazing sea views. the village is quiet and real.it s a great place for some amazing bird watching (golden eagle and vultures) the beaches practically deserted and very nice. if you want to escape from busy life and switch off we definitely recommend going to stay in George's and Anna's place.
Juk T. Sep 14, 2018 11:54:40 AM
Summary: Thanks George and Anna for a wonderful time at your house in Tris Ekklisies, we enjoyed our time fully, peaceful, quiet, nice beach, good food at the restaurant you recommended every night, hope to come back some day.
Janj K. Sep 12, 2018 11:17:41 AM
Summary: This place is a real gem. George & Anna's house is located in the rugged terrain in southern Crete, far from all the touristic places but just one minute walk away from the nearest beach. It has everything you need to enjoy your holiday: equipped kitchen, beach necessities, showering gel/shampoo, and even home made raki and olive oil. George & Anna were so kind and prepared us with a welcome lunch since we arrived in the afternoon straight from the airport without having had any food. Communication was always quick and easy. You need a car to get here but it will be worth it. The landscape is incredibly beautiful and there are many beaches and hiking tracks to explore. Thank you so much for everything!
Tor P. Sep 10, 2018 12:47:42 PM

Emil F. Mar 1, 2018 04:59:17 AM
Summary: We had a lovely time at George & Anna's place it is beautifully situated in a quiet location and very tranquil. At the time we went April nothing was open, but George had informed us of this so we shopped prior to getting there so it was not a problem and we loved the peace and quiet. George and Anna are great hosts checking we were OK, but they allowed as much or little contact as we required. They very kindly provided us with supper on our arrival which was much appreciated as it had been a long day. They also left us provisions which was very kind. All in all a fantastic stay and I would thoroughly recommend George and Anna as hosts and the apartment as a great place to stay. Thanks again and we would love to come back.
Liudm G. Mar 1, 2018 12:59:40 AM
Summary: Perfect home in a very special location. We enjoyed very much all the smart details made with such appreciated fine taste. We had at our discretion everything we forgot to bring, like beach hats and other beach accessories. George and Anna welcomed us with warm food and raki::D and made everything very clear in a few words, the communication was flawless, and to be honest just like everything else. I can't think of one inconvenient , wes will definitely recommend this perfect home to all our friends. Thank you, George and Anna!
