Hi,
My name is Mark. My wife Sonia and myself, we purchased this beautiful stone house in late 2016. During the winter of 2017, it was extensively renovated to adjust our living standards and taste, while at the same time, we cared to maintain it's traditional Cretan character and feel.
The house is very cozy, comfortable and fully equipped.
We try to do everything to help our guests "feel at home while they are away" and offer them a pleasant accommodation for their holiday on Crete!
Waiting to host you soon in "House Potami"!
