OUR REVIEW

Two, two-storey stone built houses, with veranda and courtyard on the edge of the old village of Petrokefalo. Overlooking sweeping grapevine and olive-clad hills, with open, panoramic views. Charming, evocative of Crete's history, the houses provide calm and relaxation.
Originally built at the end of the 19th century, restored in original style, these comfortable well-finished homes have a special atmosphere.
Furnished in traditional style with stone fireplaces, with a wood beam and ceiling mezzanine sleeping area. Each has its own central heating.

The village has one new good taverna ("Hayiati"), two active Kafeneia (open irregular hours, as all Greek kafeneia!) and nearby Voutes (3km) or Krousonas (8km) have tavernas with many good offerings for meals. Wander the villages of Agios Mironas, Kato & Pano Asites, monastery of Gorgolaini to its meeting with the E4 footpath. 3 km from Asites you will find the excavations of ancient Risenia. Visit Sarchos and its famous Honos cave, then on to the village of Krousonas.
Also close (15 km) for Heraklion and its shops, markets and city amenities, beaches and coastal route (Read our Heraklion feature).

A new horse-back riding outfit is available just 5 minutes from Agioklima, a great way to experience the beautiful countryside. You can be picked up at Agioklima if you wish. Coffee, soft drinks and meals are available at the riding centre.
