Stella’s Traditional Apartments are built on the top of the amphitheatric, fertile valley of Kato Zakros, 111km south east of Agios Nikolaos and 44km south east of Sitia.
Stella’s Traditional Apartments in Kato Zakros, built just 500m from the beach, are a hymn to the traditional architecture.
The stone built walls, wooden ceilings, handmade furniture and numerous antiques from another era, grant the apartments a rustic atmosphere.
The peace and quiet of the surroundings is disturbed only by the natural sounds of birds, cicadas, the wind or the rustling of leaves.
More than one hundred big trees in the garden provide shadow during the hot summer days while in the evening you will enjoy the aroma of local herbs mixed with jasmine and basil.
Above all, you will find the warm hospitality and generosity of the owners Stella and Elias!
