About this property
View to an unforgettable landscape, in touch with the Cretan nature
Studio in Pithari,Akrotiri,15 minutes away from city of Chania, the sea, the airport, as well as our port and National Road. It's ideal for quite summer and winter holidays for couples. A compeletely equiped, separate appartment, which is a part of a bigger house built in a private area of four acres, offers joy, peace and quite, as well as a wonderful view. It is a studio of 50 sqm, fully equipped in a modern style, yet in direct contact and harmony with the nature around it. Situated on the eastern side of a larger home where our family lives, on a private plot of 4 acres full of olive trees and pine trees, shrubs, herbs and wildflowers of local flora and with a splendid view of the Souda bay and the mountain range of the White Mountains.All around, the tweets of birds and the hum of cicadas is heard. To get to the apartment, you pass through a private 70-meter alley that leads to a large park (shared), cross the white-fenced courtyard of the central residence from where a small stone staircase leads to the entrance.
The appartment is dominated by the element of natural wood. Basic furniture were designed and constructed with love and taste in hand, while some vintage pieces of special beauty are distinguished, such as the desk and two mirrors of the bedroom and bathroom, the 40's radio and the old sewing machine.The apartment is designed for people who love nature as it is located next to a natural rock garden, which is organised as a herb garden, partly shaded by pine trees. A traditional Cretan treat is welcoming you while the home is equipped with everything that includes a full house as well as everything you may need for your personal care. A full kitchen with filter and espresso coffee makers, a desk to touch your laptop, a comfortable living room and a double handmade bed, dominating the highest level of the house, from which one can enjoy day and night the stunning sea and mountain view from the large windows.The view is even better than the balcony of the studio, which "sees" also towards the rock garden and the small pine forest. From here, you can watch the most beautiful sunrise: You'll have to sucrifice your lie-in, but it will be unforgettable!
We named our property "Garden of Zephyrus" because it accepts almost all year the favorable influence of the winds, sometimes strong and sometimes gentle and relaxing. The apartment is a perfect seasonal observatory, located 300 meters above sea level. Guests can, if they wish, settle without our presence. You will find the keys in a special keychain with a combination.

We enjoyed our stay and the great hospitality of Georgios and his wife very much.The house is a perfect location just to rest with its splendid view over the bay of Souda and also a good starting point to experience the region of Chania and the western part of Crete.
Très belle vue! Hôte bien accueillant et a partagé ses connaissances de la région. Logement très propre. Plusieurs endroits pour manger à proximité. Absolument besoin d’une voiture! Endroit à recommander!
Notre hôte a été su nous présenter sa région avec des attentions très agréable. Son guide sur La Canée est à mettre en avant. Nous l'avons scrupuleusement suivi lors de notre première visite de la ville et lu tous ces détails historiques avec grand plaisir. L'appartement et sa vue sur la baie de Souda sont au top Merci encore pour ce séjour.
Studio très spacieux avec une vue sur le port de Souda de toute beauté.
Très bien équipé , proche des plages et de Chania, la résidence de Georgious est parfaite.
2nd stay here, lovely apartment with everything you need and very tastefully decorated. Convenient for Chania, beaches, shops etc. Lovely view over Souda Bay. Excellent hosts, and just a lovely place to stay.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable and Georgios was a very helpful host. The view across the bay from the apartment was spectacular and it’s location was convenient not only for access to Chania and the airport, but also only 10-15 minutes drive from the best beaches in Akrotiri
