An amazing experience!
Nested in the middle of Cretan nature, this eco-lodge is not only a beautiful spot but also the starting point of so many amazing treks and wildlife experiences.
The lodges are superb, as clean as it gets, very comfortable. Hospitality is refined and caring, with a special mention to the owners.
Really worth the (ideally long) stay.
