Location

he valley, overgrown with olive-trees, vineyards and gardens. The ramshackled carcass of the Minoan Palace. The entrance to the Dead's Gorge, carved in perpendicular slopes as if by Titans, within numerable caves and wild goats around. The plain, pure white, orthodox St Antonios' chapel. The fishing boats and the seagulls, proud ornaments of a gulf belonging to a sea that stretches as far as the eye can see. The beach with the picturesque fish-taverns and its “Blue Flag”, awarded for its crystal-clear waters .The mountains, full of wild natural beauty, scenting the unique fragrances of the herbs of the Cretan soil. The cloudless sky, which on the mainland is interrupted only by the mountain crests that crown the valley and in the horizon meets the sea in an eternal erotic embrace. A composition of colours, sounds and fragrances, a conjectural crescendo that the creator conceived through divine inspiration but also a composition carefully decorated by a tactful human presence. Images that readily quench the thirst of the senses and one can rejoice them either by simply gazing through the windows which adorn every apartment like beautiful paintings or by comfortably seated at the terraces and the countless spots of Terra Minoika (Minoan Land).
