Live the Original Cretan Experience in 'Barbagiannis' House Built in 1850.
Greece, Crete
Best points about the property:
" 'Barbagiannis' House is one of the 4 houses located in 'Kastellos village'and the neighborhood of 'Agathes'. Beautiful stone work frames the dark green doorways and windows, further accentuated by the pastel strawberry and lemon walls. Add to this lovely tiled roofs and backdrop of the blue sky and mountains, and then you begin to understand why we were so smitten. The complex is ideal for those wishing to escape everyday routine and relax enjoying the Cretan countryside, it’s for those who want to contact the nature, the wild life, the tastes of the local food where you can ask Miss Maria down the road to cook something for your dinner, and of course to meet the people and their habits. KASTELLOS VILLAGE is built in a privileged location. During your stay here you can make a tour around the area and enjoy nature. It is worth visiting the famous Kourna lake, which is only 5 km from the village. You can also visit the area of Argiroupolis, known for the running and spring waters. You will have a meal under the plane trees and visit the small church of Saint Prokopios, which is built in a cave. The popular beach of Georgioupolis (5 km from the complex) is a pole of attraction for the visitors of the area. "

Hints and tips from the owner:
See the personal website of the owner" Maria's Restaurant: It's situated just 100 meters from 'Anezina' house where you can truly experience a trully family taverna with original Cretan food and Cretan Hospitality. There are many restaurants and taverns in the village of Kavros(2KM away), where you can also enjoy the famous recipes of the traditional Cretan cuisine. Georgioupolis: Georgioupolis is a popular vacation resort with a great long beach (it goes for several Km) and an idyllic harbour with little fishing boats at the north coast of the island. Old eucalyptus trees and a small river that flows into the sea, create a distinctive and unique ambiance (it is a wildlife refuge). As for the location it is a great choice as a starting point for excursions into western Crete. Kastelos: Semi-mountainous village built on the feet of the White Mountains on an altitude of 252m. It’s named derived from the site it was built (like a castle). Originally the village was situated lower on the valley in the present area of the settlement Agathes from where the inhabitants were forced to leave in 1800 due to the Ottomans. Close to the village a there was in 1835 a severe battle amongst Cretans and Ottomans that left 22 dead Ottomans and just 1 Cretan. It was the reason that the ottomans stopped raiding the area. The locals had an important contribution to the resistance against the Germans fascists during the 2sn World War. "
