Oaisi

We lived for 14 days in an oasis surrounded by palm vines and olive trees and flower beds around the house. The house is furnished very appropriately and tastefully with good kitchen facilities. From the living room there was access to two terraces so there was always the possibility of shelter and sunshine. From one terrace there is a view of the Mediterranean Sea and the possibility of a short evening trip down to the sea and enjoying the sunset. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful with guidance about our visit to East Crete. The house is just a 10-minute drive from Sitia. And should there be an interest in Minoan culture, the area is definitely worth visiting, as well as the very fine museum in Sitia. We can highly recommend a stay in these beautiful surroundings and will be happy to return.

What a beautiful place

We stayed for three weeks in one of the three bungalows on the side during September. It now looks even more green than in the pictures. We were surrounded by many blooming flowers and a lot of green plants. This is a view you very rarely get in the region in early autumn. The host was very hospitable. We were able to talk often about Crete and the surrounding area. The apartment was cleaned and towels and line where changed once a week, what really surprised us positively. Apart from the sea and the purring of the friendly cats on the property, there is hardly anything to hear, although one of the essential main roads in the area is only a few metres away. It is very easy to explore the area by rental car from there. The well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering possible. A restaurant is within walking distance. However, better restaurants (and wonderful secluded sandy beaches) can be reached in about 20 minutes by car.

Unterkunft entsprach genau der Beschreibung und den Fotos. Sehr gute MatratzenVollständige KüchenausstattungWir waren sehr positiv überrascht dass die Betten nach einer Woche frisch bezogen wurden und wir neue Handtücher bekamen. Eine Möglichkeit zu schwimmen ist vor Ort leider nicht gegeben.Keine Badebuchten. Aber traumhafte Badebuchten sind in ca. 15 Fahrminuten zu erreichen. Alles in allem hatten wir einen wunderschönen Urlaub in der Region.

Traumhaftes Haus in paradiesischer Parkanlage!

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Haus, welches äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet war und in dem es an nichts fehlte. Es gab zwei Terrassen. Eine, von der aus man durch die hübschen Oleanderbüsche und Palmen zum Meer schauen konnte und eine andere, die nachmittags Schatten bot und einen sehr schönen Blick in die traumhafte Parkanlage mit unterschiedlichsten Blumen und Pflanzen bot. Vom Haus aus ließ sich der gesamte Osten von Kreta zum Wandern sehr gut erreichen. Nach schönen Touren durch etliche Schluchten, ließ sich das ein oder andere kühle Bier herrlich auf den Terrassen genießen. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt nicht zuletzt auch wegen des sehr netten Besitzers, der die Anlage in Schuss hält und das ein oder andere nette Pläuschchen mit uns gehalten hat und einiges Informatives über die Insel zu erzählen wusste.
