Beautiful house in a quiet and peaceful surroundings
We spent in May ten days in Apithano. The tasteful renovated house (it is almost a new house) is very comfortable, very clean and very well equipped. The surroundings are very quiet and peaceful. It has been for us an ideal starting point for exploring the west and south mountains and the beaches. After one day of hiking, we appreciated so much a rest day at the house, just sitting on the terrace enjoying the mountain or the sea view or reading a book on the long chairs in the garden in the shade of the large olive tree.
When needed, we could always get good advices from the owner Nikos for organizing our visits. It was a pleasure meeting him.
We recommend this house wholeheartedly.

I love travelling around the world with my motorbike and not only.What I want from the places I go, is to see the real life of local people, eat local food and not only visit the tourist places . This is what I am trying to do through the Apithano to my guests
Why they chose this property
This property belongs to my family for more than a 100 years and restoring it made me happy and also is a place where you can enjoy the “sound” of silence and delight the beautiful sea and white mountain view at the swimming pool area and the garden for a totally relaxing holiday or use it as a base for a more adventures holiday since Spilia is ideally located for you to visit the most important coasts and places of interest of Western Crete
What makes this property unique
The “sound” of silence in a place just 150m from the center of a very beautifull and full of life village with all amenities just a few minutes away. And of course the possition of the village which is ideal for exploring the western Crete most beautifull places and beaches, very close to the highway which makes also all town life to be just a few minutes away.
