The villa is located in the centre of the south coastline of Crete an area filled with natural beauty! Some of the most beautiful beaches in Crete are only a few kilometers away (Matala, Kommos, Red beach, Vathi, Agiofaraggo, Prevelis Palm Beach, Agios Pavlos, Triopetra, Shinaria).

So, the house is a very convenient starting point for some of the most famous destinations of southern Crete, such as Matala and Agia Galini touristic villages, the metropolis of the Minoan civilization (Festos, Agia Triada and Gortina), beautiful traditional villages such as Kamilari, Pitsidia, Sivas and Voroi, the mountains of Psiloritis and Asterousia with many picturesque villages and outstanding natural paths for hiking.

The area offers activities such as snorkeling, swimming, canoeing, wind-surfing, scuba diving, hiking, horseriding in nature, cycling, jet/ water skiing, water tubing.

The colours of the olive plantations, orange and lemon trees, the smells of the wild rosemary, thyme and sage and the sounds of the the cicadas and crickets convey the Mediterranean atmosphere. The mass tourism has not arrived here yet!

The visitor will have the opportunity to enjoy the Mediterranean cuisine in its most honest version since he/she can taste some of the most famous greek products such as olive oil, honey, wine, herbs, fruits and vegetables at the place where they are actually produced! In the small villages in the area around you can find tasty taverns with traditional cuisine and live music and smell the aroma of greek coffeee in the traditional cafes/kafenions.
Furthermore, in nearby larger resorts, there are several nightlife options.

The town of Timbaki where the house is located, offers a variety of shops, such as mini markets, a supermarket, bookstore, ATM/ Bank, post-office, etc for your everyday needs before every excursion. The town itself has no special beauties to show and thus we recommend that you have your walks in the nearby picturesque villages – places. We provide our guests a guide with the best places around!

Séjour agréable et authentique
Très bon séjour, la maison est bien située pour découvrir le sud de la Crête. Marché le vendredi matin avec de bon produits frais. La maison est confortable et joliment rénovée, la climatisation appréciée. Un complément d'équipements (couverts, micro-ondes) aurait été un plus. Très bon accueil !

Priotissa is great!
We felt so comfortable in this lovely, spacious, tasteful and very well equiped house with a gorgeous patio! The day we arrived (Priotissa was very easy to find!), super friendly Frantzeska showed us around the neighbourhood. The house is in the center of Timbaki, next to Agios Titos church and the central square where you can find a lot of kafenias, coffee bars and restaurants. Great bakery nearby. Timbaki is in a great strategic position to explore the South of Crete with its amazing natural beauties and cultural sites. We discovered amazing beaches where even in high season weren‘t many people. Antonis gave us tons of informations and recommandations and he kept contact while we stayed in Priotissa. We loved our stay in Priotissa and we would definitely like to come back! Thanks again to Frantzeska and Antonis!
