    Alles was gewoon perfect: de informatie, de ontvangst, de ruimte, de inrichting, de netheid, de kleine attenties (koffie, thee, koekjes, water, wijn, confituur...), airco, badkamer... alles. Bedankt dat we er mochten verblijven.

    Appartemento nuovo e molto pulito. Situato in collina dove non si soffre il caldo. Posizione ottimale per raggiungere i siti del l’isola. Se volete assaporare i piatti della tradizione vi consiglio i ristoranti di Skalani.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Skalani, Crete, our house offers an unparalleled escape into the heart of Cretan culture and history. Located just a stone's throw away from the legendary Knossos Palace, this charming retreat invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of the island's past while indulging in modern comforts and breathtaking vistas. Step inside to discover a cozy living space adorned with tasteful furnishings, creating an ambiance of tranquility and serenity. Sink into the plush sofa as you unwind after a day of exploration, or gather around the dining table to savor a delicious meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The bedroom exudes an air of intimacy and comfort, featuring a sumptuous double-sized bed adorned with crisp linens and soft pillows. Drift off to sleep to the gentle melody of the night breeze, and awaken to the golden rays of the Cretan sun streaming in through the window, offering a stunning panorama of the surrounding landscape. Situated atop a hill overlooking the village, our flat offers an unobstructed vista of rolling hills, verdant vineyards, and the azure expanse of the Aegean Sea stretching out to the horizon.

Oikia Eftichia's neighborhood is a hidden gem where the hustle and bustle of urban life gives way to a tranquil oasis of peace and serenity. But perhaps the true heart of Oikia Eftichia's neighborhood lies in its people – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Neighbors come together for block parties and community events, sharing laughter, stories, and a sense of belonging that transcends the boundaries of age, race, and background. In times of need, they rally around one another, offering support and solidarity in the face of adversity.
