Just renovated, stone built apartment with 2 bedrooms, a large living room- kitchen area and 1 bathroom it offers space for 6 guests. The veranda invites you for breakfast, relaxing afternoons, family dinners and wonderful evenings with a light breeze... Perfect for families, friends and small groups who want to enjoy the South side of life with natural beaches, traditional villages and the privacy of a holiday apartment. Camara House can accommodate 6 people in a warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the open layout of the house. A large living room - dining - kitchen area opens up a lot of space with a lot of light.This apartment makes you feel comfortable from the first moment. The apartment used to be a traditional caffe. It has 60 cm wide walls. This is perfect for preserving the cool temperature in the summer and the warmth in winter. On the veranda you can relax and the large table invites you to eat, but also offers enough space for a game night or just to spend some relaxing moments. There is one bedroom with a double bed and a fireplace and a second bedroom with a bunk bed and a bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens up to the living room area with 1 big sofa who can be transformed to bed. The tavernas, caffes and mini markets are in walking distance and there is parking space on the street. Camara House is the perfect place for a family holiday in Pitsidia with a lot of peace, yet close to the taverns, cafes and the great beaches of the region.
Dear guests Hello ! I am Despoina Skandalaki. I am the owner of this house. I have inherited it from my grandfather. I have renovated it with my husband Manolis Stratigis with lots of love. We did our best to create a nice and cozy atmosphere. We wish you a pleasant stay ! Best regards Despoina Skandalaki
ABOUT THE AREA OF PITSIDIA Pitsidia is situated a short drive north east of Matala and Kommos or Komos beach, in the south of the Iraklion district, about 1 hour drive from the Heraklion airport. It's not much more than the road that leads the people to these two other places and a few side streets. On the main road that leads through the village and around the central square you will find plenty of bougainville covered taverna's where you can have a bite to eat, and there are a couple of supermarkets, a hairdresser, a butcher and a bakery. It's got a charm of it's own and it looks definitely better than some of the ugly villages you can see along the new national road. As you drive through the village on the main road you miss out on the actual old part of the village. There are quite a few accommodations in the village of Pitsidia and is an option for people who want to visit the nearby beaches (Matala and Kommos) but want to avoid the crowds. Matala beach lies at a distance of four kilometer and Komos beach is one an a half kilometer away. You can walk from Pitsidia to this last beach in about 30 minutes. Yet another beach, the beach of Kalamaki lies at a distance of about 5 kilometer from the village. From Pitsidia there are regular buses to Matala beach (during high season 6 a day). Pitsidia is the oldest village in the area. In Byzantine times the commander of the army settled in the village. The army came from the village of Pisidia, which is in the current Asia Minor (in the south of Turkey). This probably explains the name of the village still has today. Pitsidia was a logical place because there is a water spring in the hills behind the village. There are cisterns and water pipes.
