The house
A small family unit,
kept simple on purpose
For more than twenty years the Hatzakis family has looked after guests on this quiet stretch of the Achlia coast — 15 km from Ierapetra, 5 km from Makrys Gialos, and 800 metres from the nearest awarded beach.
Six studio apartments share the garden, the pool and the same wide view. The three on the ground floor keep their traditional Cretan decoration; the three above have been modernly refurbished. All but two look straight out to the Libyan Sea.
“Our apartments have been here for over twenty years. We make the best for our guests.”
