For those in search of an island adventure to the heart of Crete, this home makes a great place to begin. It’s located in the sleepy village of Zoniana, with easy access to hiking trails as well as the nearby Sfendoni cave. Beach lovers will need to travel a little further to experience the island’s coastal spirit – you’ll find Bali beach is located 35 kilometres from here. Your host can also help arrange car rentals along with a range of extra services – including massage treatments and a private chef. And while the decor is a little dated, the terrace provides a sweet spot to relax after a day of exploring.

Home truths
Due to the location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s also free private parking.
This home is located in the village, so it’s also possible you may hear some noise from the neighbours during your stay.
There are two floors here, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility and children will need to be supervised outside at all times.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
Housekeeping is included every three days here.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

The capital of Heraklion is a lively port city with a world-class museum, but the main draw to the island are the crumbling ruins, white mountains, and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. Evidence of the ancient Minoans that once lived here is on display...
