At the edge of the village of Kamilari (3 km from Minoan palace of Phaestos) on the southern hill Alevotra, the holiday house is situated amidst an olive grove and wild growing herbs and flowers. The elevated location offers a fantastic panoramic view from the Ida mountains in the north to the far back fertile Messara level and the Asteroussia mountains to the neighbouring villages of Sivas, Listaros and Pitsida, as well as the sea at the Komos beach. The villa Kalithea features room (approx. 75 m²) for 4-5 people. Besides a balcony and a veranda each house includes a large, separate garden with private pool. The hedges, trees and flowers between the houses make good blinds to the neighbouring garden. Tranquillity and nature provide relaxation. On our free neighbour property you can lounge under various fruit trees in the shade, paint or just look at the scenery. Enjoy this paradise location of power and inspiration.
Kamilari is a comfortable, small cretic village, which stretches over several hills. The native population is often involved in farming as well as tourism. In the village there are mini markets, taverns and coffee houses. Fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, eggs, wine and a whole lot more can be purchased at the small shops in the village. In the recent years more and more of the old stone houses have been renovated. Flat tourism and hotels are not found in this area! It is only 2.5 km from to the beach of Kalamaki. In the east the Minoan palace of Festos is located and it is only a few kilometres to Matala. Again and again it is nice to experience the openness and cordiality of the locals towards the visitors. Frequenters and long time visitors are typical for the village.
Availability notes For having as few vacancy as possible, the arrival and departure day should be at the weekend.

The bedroom on the ground floor features a double bed. A crib can be put up additionally. The mattress has a size of 160 cm x 200 cm. It is very easy to fasten the available mosquito nets at the wooden ceiling. The second bedroom on the upper floor is equipped with two single beds.

During the arrangement of the house we have considered it to be practical, cosy and typical of the country. We want to offer you the typical “Greek flair” in clean and comfortable atmosphere. The natural stone house has approx. 60 cm thick walls – well isolated – cleanly fettled on the inside. At the exterior we have installed our house in a surrounding of olive trees and many plants of the region: orange trees, palm trees, pomegranate and a whole lot more.
The south of Crete is hard to access because of its scenic conditions. Sparse mountain ranges, cliffy banks and many canyons offer the visitor different exploring possibilities. Sole beaches, field paths and olive groves attract many hikers and nature lovers. We will be happy to give you information about destinations at the location.
Olive harvest
We also pursue some farming on the side. Thanasis will be happy to tell you something about our winegrowing, the production of Raki and our biologically cultivated olive oil. From August to September you can go collect wine with us and in January you are welcome to the collegian of olives.
