OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE (The real star)
>Fully covered, a lot more surface than indoor. Fits perfectly with all year round hot climate where indoor space is rather auxilliarly serving only cooking and sleeping.
>Main veranda on the ground floor taking up the whole cottage length. Covered with chestnut tree log pergola and bamboo panels. Built-in super-long deep sofa, perfect for afternoon naps or hot summer night sleeping under the starry sky. More than enough room for a 6 chair dinning table.
>Upper veranda above the indoor space taking up all of its footprint. Accessible from the main veranda through staircase. Also covered the same way as the main ground floor veranda but the sea view from there is absolutely breathtaking. The best place to enjoy morning coffee, swing on the hammock swing, drink afternoon aperitifs or listen to the sound of the sea amidst the quiet night.
GETTING AROUND
Our village is 60 km away from Heraklion airport & it is not accessible with public transportation.
Local bus stops in a previous village (Pyrgos) 16 km away, so a car is necessary.
The route from Heraklion passes through three villages of Heraklion prefecture: Archanes-Charakas-Paranimfoi and ends to Treis Ekklisies village. The last 4 km to the village is dirt road but it's flat and in a very good condition, suitable to be driven comfortably by a small conventional passenger car.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-There is no cleaning service in between your stay. The house will be in perfect condition cleaningwise upon your arrival. There will also be available the house's full set of cleaning equipment (brooms, mops, detergents) so you can suit yourselves the same way you do in your own home.
-There will be 1 extra set of linen (sheets, towels etc) for every 2-3 days of stay.
-Village's grocery store is open from start of June till start of September. Outside this season groceries can be done on your way to Treis Ekklisies in the village of Harakas or Pyrgos where relatively large super markets are. The house is usually stocked with dry food, homegrown vegetables & fruit enough for 2-3 full days
-At least one beach tavern is open non stop from start of April till end of October. The other two open from start of May till end of September
-Due to the rugged landscape only one of the three cellphone signal providers in Greece (company name: COSMOTE) offers signal for cellphones. If (when you're in roaming mode) your national provider doesn't cooperate with COSMOTE, then your cellphone will be inactive. However communications can be made through the high speed internet available at the house. You can make phone calls via all internet VoIP services
-For hygienic reasons, there are no waste bins inside the village. There are two large containers at the village entrance. So put as many of your garbage as you can in the large garbage bags provided and when filled take a short 1 minute drive till the disposal containers.
-During August, there might be short temporary interruptions in water supply (2 or 3 total, non-consecutive days, one day at a time). The house is equipped with water reservoir capable to fill all water needs for 2 consecutive days. Dishes, toilet flushing, showers can be done as usual, only the water flow will have less preassure than normal
