Agioklima traditional Cretan house

Welcome to Agioklima (which means "honey-suckle"), an old traditional cretan house with full facilities in a traditional village in the heart of Crete, Greece.
The Agioklima traditional house is a restored village house on the edge of the village "Petrokefalo", looking over the beautiful valley towards Pendamodi, Kroussonas and on the north towards Heraklion and the Cretan sea.

The Agioklima cretan traditional house is a fully equipped 50 m2 traditional stone-built house for 2-4 persons with stone fire place and basic kitchen. The center of Heraklion is about 16 km from traditional village Petrokefalo. Also the university of Crete and FORTH are about 6km from this traditional village.
Its advantage is its location, at the end of the village, at the foot of Psiloritis mountain, it is by its self a natural “balcony” with amazing view.

From your right you will see the Cretan Sea and your eyes will instantly caress the mountain. During the day you will look at the olive trees, the vineyards and the rest of the villages of the area, during the night, the lights of the villages will haunt you! Due to its location at the end of the village, the night sky and the stars will surround you.

It is truly a haven, a peaceful place away from the noise of the big crowded cities we all live in...

Sensationelle Aussicht

Geschmack- und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit sensationellem Blick über die Bucht von Heraklion. Sehr ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf gelegen. Gastgeberin Niki ist eine sehr aufgeschlossene, herzliche und gebildete Dame, die einem jederzeit mit Tipps und Ratschlägen zur Verfügung steht. Gastfreundschaft wird bei ihr wirklich ganz groß geschrieben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank!
