Cosy quiet country house in a picturesque village

My house situated in a traditional cretan village in the south,called sivas, only a 10 min. drive to Matala, Komos, Faistos will be excellent for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. It is at the quietest zone of the village, however the village square is full of life and restaurants and only a 2 minute walk. The balcony has a spectacular view of Psiloritis and the surrounding area, where you can just relax or enjoy your breakfast! the traditionally renovated stone house is a two floor maisonette 48sqm, with a small front yard, and a balcony. The ground floor is the kitchen with the fireplace, which can be used as room for the extra guest. The upper floor is the bedroom, and private WC. everywhere I will be always available to help you get around with tips about local life restaurants and some of Crete's most famous beaches. There are many trekking routes passing through peaceful olive trees meadows around the village and excellent restaurants with cretan cuisine at the square which is only a 2 min walk from the house. There are 2 mini markets,two cafes, a butcher's shop and a bakery all within walking distance. What is more , a short walk in the village will offer a glimpse of some of the numerous newly- renovated traditional stone houses which decorate its narrow streets. Just behind the house there is also a small chapel build by my parents dedicated to Saint John the foreigner as he 's known in greek (Ai giannis o ksenos) , right on the spot where his house used to stand a bit more than 1000 years ago . A leading figure among monks responsible for establishing some of the most prominent monasteries and churches in Crete like the ''Miriokefala" monastery of Rethimno . I can arrange for the key to the chapel upon request You can park for free in the village, don't worry it is a small village! Buses run all day from Heraklion to Moires, the town that is located just a few miles from the village, and then you have to change bus for Sivas but the buses don't run daily, so you can take a taxi from there to the village, its a short ride. We can also lend you our two mountain bikes, if needed. Either way, renting a car is the most enjoyable and convenient solution for you to be able to visit all the surrounding archaeological sites, beaches and unique natural beauty spots of the area .
