Why we like it:
Luxury & originality, lavish decor in surroundings of natural beauty, by a
small "local" village
OUR REVIEW
Agios Myronas is so close to Heraklion in distance and
travel time, yet it is far away in mood. A relaxed pace and open
countryside surroundings. Cresting a hillock just beyond the village
with sweeping views of the necklace of villages nearby, is Vergis Epavlis
(Vergis Mansion), a
dream made true. Luxury decor, paintings and plush antique furniture on the edge of a
truly traditional Cretan Village. The owners' home and your home to
visit.
One of these four luxury suites, lavish, with grand design themes
and furnishings can be the "emperor's base" for your stay in this part of
Crete. Or perhaps when you need easy access to Heraklion and its
airport for a few days, yet want to continue breathing in the relaxing
air and soothing your work-tired eyes with nourishing green countryside
and your palate with delicious local food.
The swimming pool is large and the views soothing.
The "Stella Art" restaurant at this suite retreat makes using your separate kitchen
(which is fully equipped) optional. You can walk across to the village
itself in 8 minutes or drive there in 2 minutes. Agios Myronas has two
places to eat (one of them also owned by the Vergis family) and a
kafeneio with a splendid view from its outdoor
seating area.
Heraklion is a 25 minute drive.
Perhaps a place to stay on arrival or before leaving
Crete, for a few days - close enough to the airport (about 30 minutes)
so that you can travel home with your rejuvenated and relaxed new self
still intact!
