The Wild West |
|
A rolling fertile landscape dominated by the dramatic heights of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) and soothed by the cool blues of the Mediterranean in the North and The Libyan Sea in the south, West Crete has a wild and beautiful landscape to explore from the famous Samaria Gorge to the pink sands of Falassarna. Take an exhilarating walk in the White Mountains or a relaxing boat trip to Balos Lagoon. Marvel in the cultural heritage of the beautiful Venetian harbour town of Hania. Drive through the countryside scented by wild herbs and steeped in myths and legends. Or just take a walk down to the bottom of our garden and on as far as the eye can see. The village with its one kafeneion is surrounded by vineyards, olive and orange groves, intertwined with paths and lanes leading as far as your curiosity takes you, up to stunning mountain and sea views or down to cool shady groves.
