A multilevel outdoor site consisting of plane tress, rocks and water with a sense of freshness and tranquility will pleasantly surprise you.
The big waterfall is dominant, at its ending, trout are swimming, ready to get picked for your next meal.
Apart from the waterfall, there is a large tank filled with impressive sturgeon fish!

YOU ARE CONSTANTLY IN MY THOUGHTS ...

In the Cretan dialect "athivoli" is memory, thought, discussion.
A word which encompasses almost everything that happens around the table with friends and life in general!

THE FIRE WARMNESS!

One of the oldest ways of cooking meat is either ofto (baked) or antikristo (faced meat). This cooking meat technique is also referred to Homer's Iliad, in which the spears of warriors were used instead of the spit.

HOW ANTIKRISTO IS PREPARED?

Prior to the preparation of the meat used is preferably lamb-heavy lambs, which are salted passed into a metal skewers around the fire, commonly facing for 4-5 hours.

Traditional Night Venue

In our outdoor place, a traditional night venue is held with dances from Crete and the rest of Greece.
So the musicians as well as the Cretan dance group of Vrakoforoi will entertain you!

EXCELLENT

Söin avotulisavustimessa hitaasti kypsennettyä lammasta. Liha mehukasta ja suussa sulavaa😋 Olisi kaivannut hieman lisää makua, mutta se paikattiin tsatsikilla👌. Mukava ja rentopaikka puiden varjossa ja lähteiden äärellä. Käymisen arvoinen👍
