About the host

Hosted by Marianna Grigoraki

Host profile image
Zen House was born as an idea from our intention to create a space that we could invite our friends, share time and conversations, celebrate moments and create ideas in a tranquil environment overlooking this amazing sea view! The spot itself has an amazing energy and light that we always wanted to share!

Traveling around the world, collecting ideas and experiences, growing personally and professionally, the vision was revealed and the concept was created.

A family project that combines the professionalism and expertise of Vagelis as an architect engineer, dedicated to designing and constructing buildings with minimal ecological impact, revealing the potentials of the site and the space. And the international experience of Marianna on the event management field of business and her pursue of continuous growth and inspiration through alternative healing practices, communities and retreats across the world.

Why they chose this property

Private and secluded environment over-hanging a cliff of the Cretan Sea, yet within easy reach of the International Airport (15km) and capital city of Heraklion.
Combines the tranquility that one seek in order to relax, reflect, connect with nature, and still offering city life, historical sites, public beaches and mountain villages.
