OUR REVIEW

Perched above the interesting village of Axos, on the cascading side of Psiloritis mountain near Anogia, inland and west of Heraklion (43 km) - but ages away in atmosphere. Many archaeological sites and caves, much history about which the owners are happy to guide and inform you. There are local Kafeneia, tavernas and more in the village. Fine natural, local ingredients are provided for your breakfast, which you can enjoy at your leisure in the studios and apartments. The owners will sample Raki with you, and happily introduce you to all manner of local interests. Their son's talent with the mandolin is often expressed in impromptu musical evenings, to the delight of guests (the photos are family and guest moments).


The three apartments (maisonettes) sleep 4-5 people and have wonderful views across the village and of the mountains around, with a distant view of the sea beyond. The living area, two beds (one more can be added) and the kitchen are on the ground floor. On the first floor (internal staircase) is the main bedroom with two beds and the bathroom. The apartments have fully equipped kitchen, 2 TVs, 2 telephones and central heating.
The three smaller studios (for up to 2 people) have rear or side terrace areas, which do not have views. All have two beds, kitchenette, bathroom, A/C, central heating, TV and telephone.
Most  furniture is wooden, carved in beautiful traditional style.


The studios and apartments are named after local ancient figures:
Etearchos (Oaxos' King)
Apollodotos (Oaxos' musician)
Arkesilas (Oaxos' sculptor)
Akakallida (Apollo's wife and Oaxos' mother)
Fronimi (King Etearchos' daughter)
Aghiali (Nymph and Oaxos' mother)

The family that owns the hotel can organize excursions and guided tours in the area.
Some nearby attractions: the Nida Plateau, ruins of the ancient Palace of Oaxos, the tombs of the Hellenistic period, Ideon Andron, Kamariti and Sendoni caves and the deserted monastery of Helepa.
You can access the internet and get email at Yakinthos.
