About this property

Enjoy a perfect sunset every afternoon! You can also book the adjacent Pomegranate house that can accommodate a further 5 people. Both houses are completely independent.

Guest Access:
During your stay you will have access to the whole house with its own private terrace! The house is easily accessible from the village main street. It is located on a quiet side street. You will find complimentary fruits and wine on your arrival. The olive oil for your cooking is also available for free (our own olive oil). There is no laundry machine in the house but there is laundry service for free when you need it.

The Neighborhood:
Eastern Crete

Eastern Crete, (east from Aghios Nikolaos) is the most authentic and unspoilt region of Crete since it is not touristically developed. It is the region that people from large Cretan cities (Heraklion, Chania) choose for their own relaxing vacations. Eastern Crete is mostly mountainous and the driving routes are winding and scenic, offering great views over wild mountains and the sea. In fact the whole route from Aghios Nikolaos to Sitia is considered on the best scenic drives in Greece. In this region you will meet writers and music composers who find inspiration in the sea/mountain views and the authentic village people.

An introduction to Mirsini village

Mirsini is a traditional Cretan village, unspoilt by tourism. It was incorporated during the Minoan period in the territory of the major Minoan city of Mochlos. It is located on Crete's northern main route, on the road from Agios Nikolaos to Sitia, 45 km from Agios Nikolaos and 23 km from Sitia at an altitude of 330 meters overlooking the gulf of Mirabello. It is famous for its great views (the village is west facing), its tranquility, the good food, wine and raki and for its hospitable and friendly residents. The village is surrounded by olive groves, fruit plantations, steep mountains and deep ravines.

Restaurants in Mirsini

Kathodon: a beautiful and cosy terrace within walking distance from the house. It serves traditional dishes and offers spectacular sea views. Another great restaurant is located in the neighbouring village of Mouliana, just 5 minutes drive from the house (it is open all year round during lunch and dinner hours).

Shopping

There is a small shop selling basic groceries in the village. In the neighbouring village of Tourloti there is a big market shop with fruits and vegetables as well as a bakery. For large supermarkets and a large wekkly fruit/vegetable market you will need to drive to Sitia town (30 min by car). If you prefer to avoid shopping we can stock the kitchen for you with all items you may need. The nearest pharmacy is located in the neighbouring village of Tourloti (5 minutes drive).

Hiking

If you prefer running water, lush vegetation and waterfalls, the entrance of Richtis gorge is a 15 minute drive by car, close to the nearby village of Exo Mouliana. The trail winds down the ravine for 4km passing from old bridges and abondoned watermills, through thick vegetation before reaching the sea at Richtis beach.
If you choose to explore the mountains and the amazing views you can start from the nearby village of Lastros and head towards the chapel of Saint John and Kapsas peak or towards Saint Nikitas (5km round trip).

Beaches

The closest beach is in the village of Mochlos approximately 15min by car. The nearest large sandy beach is Tholos, at a distance of 20km towards Aghios Nikolaos. Sitia sandy beach is 23km drive from the house. There are various other great options available. We will provide information about the best beaches in the region.

Sitia town

It is the nearest town (at 23km from the house) with a large sandy beach, supermarkets, a weekly farmer's market and a hospital.

For history and archaeology enthusiasts, Sitia's archeological museum display's exhibits dating back to the Neolithic era in 3,500 BC while the medieval fortress of Kazarma, situated at the top of Sitia is a reminder of the town's medieval past. Furthermore, the folklore museum exhibits items from the past century such as weavings, woodcuts and other everyday life items.

During the evening you can visit one of the numerous small restaurants ("Rakadika") situated along the town's fishing port, which serve delicious variety plates along with Cretan spirit "Raki". And if you are up to it you can continue your night out until the early morning hours in one of the local bars and clubs.

Getting Around:
You will need to rent a car in order to fully enjoy what the region has to offer. For travel plans:
The main access to Crete is through Heraklion (about 1.30 hours distance) with an international airport and port. There are scheduled flights throughout the year from Athens and various European airports as well as charter flights from April till October while the port offers connection to Athens and Aegean islands.
The newly constructed Sitia airport is served with scheduled flights from Athens and charter flights from Europe in the summer months. The airport also offers scheduled flights to the nearby islands of Kasos and Karpathos.

Great village location
We loved being surrounded by village life for a couple of weeks. Great location for exploring the eastern end of the island - and cooler than the coast being up in the mountains.

Wonderful house
The place is simply wonderful , very quirky and very homely loved it . Owners left wine, biscuits and raki for our arrival and also brought some gifts of honey and tea. The view is amazing over the bay especially on the roof terrace. The villagers are very friendly and brought us some cheese pies it was great to feel part of the village, would highly recommend a stay

Traumhaft
Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment wohlgefühlt, das Haus und vor allem die große Dachterrasse ist toll. Wir haben viel Zeit auf der wirklich schön gestalteten Terrasse verbracht und nur im freien geduscht. Die Lage ist gut um verschiedene Sachen im Osten der Insel zu erkunden.Sehr gemütlich und zu empfehlen ist auch die Taverne im Ort.

Perfekter Platz
Ein toller Ort, um abzuschalten und mal an nichts zu denken. Man hört, die Griechen, sich im Kafenion unterhalten, man kauft im Minimarket sein Brot und geht am Abend in die Taverne, die tolles Essen hat. Den ganzen Osten kann man wunderbar und stressfrei erkunden. Auch einen Ruhetag im Ort ist wunderschön. Wir können einen Aufenthalt hier nur empfehlen.
