Old Cretan Family House and Local Beaches

After returning for the car, and after several harbour visits and swims along the southern coastline, the ferry delivered us to our Old Cretan House near Palaiochra. We arrived late at night and awoke to the stunning surprise of a deeply cut gorge running away from the coast. 

We visited the stunning beaches of Elafonisi and Balos and enjoyed our rambling 200 year old house with an original naturally mountain fed cistern for a swim every morning before setting out for the beach and after returning in the evening for a cleansing sweet, cold and refreshing dip. No showers required.
