About the host
Hosted by lefteris verykakis
I’m from Crete and love sharing the island’s beauty, traditions, and hidden gems with my guests. Hosting lets me meet amazing people from around the world and help them experience the real Crete — its nature, food, and warm hospitality. My goal is for you to feel at home and leave with unforgettable memories.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it captures the true spirit of Crete — peaceful, authentic, and surrounded by natural beauty. The village of Kallergiana is quiet and friendly, with stunning views of both the sea and mountains. I love the fresh air, the sound of birds in the morning, and the scent of herbs in the breeze. It’s close enough to famous beaches like Balos and Elafonissi, yet far from the crowds, so you can truly relax. What I enjoy most is the slower pace of life here — it feels like time stands still, letting you enjoy every moment.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the perfect balance between authentic Cretan charm and modern comfort. Built with natural stone in an amphitheater-style setting, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of both the sea and the mountains. Guests can enjoy a spacious balcony, a peaceful pergola surrounded by bamboo, and a beautiful garden — perfect for relaxing any time of day. The house stays naturally cool thanks to its traditional stone walls, while the fully equipped kitchen allows you to experience Crete through its flavors. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, connect with nature, and feel the true heartbeat of Crete.
