  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The environment itself is very peaceful. We are located in an old traditional village in Crete. It has many narrrow streets and typical Cretan houses. There are numerous churches and chapels, kafenions, windmills. Green hills, olive fields and adjacent villages surround us. The town of Agios Nikolaos is also a 10 minute drive away with its numerous beaches and many activities.
  We embrace everyone like family and we can cook together and share some authentic Cretan meals!
  You will also learn a lot about natural farming and worm composting.
