About the host
Hosted by Irini Parasiri
As a family, we’re passionate about sharing the beauty of Crete with our guests. I, along with my husband and two daughters, have lovingly restored our family home, combining tradition with modern comforts. Inspired by our daughters, the property’s name reflects the heart of our family, and we can’t wait to welcome you to experience the fresh air, nature, and slow-paced charm of our island retreat.
Why they chose this property
Discover a different side of Crete with hikes through the breathtaking gorges near Stironas, Arkhalochori. Wander the lush paths of Spiliotissa, where hidden chapels and tranquil vibes set the tone for slow living. Explore Kounaviano’s rugged cliffs and vibrant greenery, or take a serene stroll through Astrakiano’s ancient trees and traditional bridges. Don’t miss Venerato Gorge, a peaceful retreat with dramatic rock formations and a nearby village that invites you to unwind.
But if hiking is not your thing, just 12 kilometers from Stironas, the charming village of Arkalochori is a hidden gem worth exploring. Easily accessible by public transport, it’s a hub for local shops, traditional tavernas, and quiet corners that showcase Crete’s authentic charm. Stroll through its quaint streets, visit local markets, or discover its lesser-known historic spots.
