Monthly Rentals in Arkalochori

A great location. Fantastic hosts. They had all kinds of goodies ready for us, very thoughtful. A beautiful view through the beautiful balcony, on the Libyan sea and the village. You do need to know that the road to get there is a challenge. Very style down, about 20 decent, hairpin bends, stunning views, breathtakingly beautiful. Important to note. Beautiful nature and lots of tranquility.

Very good accommodation and very well located, close to restaurants, shops and the beach. Maria is very accommodating and responsive.

Beatifull house only 10m away from the surf of the sea, located on a remote beach and therefore no tourisric buzz... great for relaxing, swimming, fishing (rocks to the right side of the beach are a good spot), sunbathing... and also walking. There is a coast path to Tsoutsouros where you can buy some groceries, but advisable to do the main shopping in Heraklion. I took the adventurous climb up the valley at the end of the village marked by red/white flags, which will lead you trough stunning mountain nature and up to the road in about 3 hours... be advised it can be a challenge ;) House has everything a human needs, including some friendly neighborhood cats! Take a car which has plenty ground clearance like a Suzuki Vitara since the 1 hour road through the mountains is on rocky gravel road

We were greeted very warmly by Lefteris and immediately felt comfortable in the beautiful house. It was very tastefully restored with a nice large kitchenette and the open fireplace ensures cozy evenings. Despite the rather cool outside temperatures (December), it was pleasantly warm in the house thanks to the central heating. The very nice cats, of which 2 were actually always in the garden but never entered the house, made our stay even more enjoyable. In fact, it is helpful for the stay if you like cats in general. The property offers a great starting point for excursions to the Lassithi Plateau and beautiful beaches on the south coast, such as Listis Beach. Perhaps just a small note for tall people: the space in front of the toilet in the bathroom is a bit cramped.
