Situated on a small hill on the outskirts of the beautiful and picturesque town of Vamos, Athanasius offers self-catering accommodation in a traditional setting. Part of a complex, built entirely of stone and wood and set in an area of 1500 square meters, it looks as if it was an integral part of the surroundings. With love, taste and style it combines the old and the new to offer you a comfortable stay. What’s more, the wonderful architecture, the well cared-for surroundings and the quiet location guarantee peace and relaxation.And for those who want to tour around a bit, there are many interesting destinations to the east, west and south that can be reached easily and quickly from here.

Athanasius traditional house is a two-storey house, with an area of 120 square meters and a shared pool and BBQ. On the ground floor there is a kitchen with fitted appliances and all the necessary cooking utensils, the dining room, bathroom, the living room, and a bedroom with a double bed, as well as verandas. An impressive stone staircase leads upstairs where there are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, and the other with two singles, balconies and a bathroom with a bathtub and washing machine. Each building has central heating, a fireplace, unlimited wireless Internet access, TV, DVD, a safe in each bedroom, furniture on all the balconies and verandas, and a parking space.

The house is built using natural materials (wood and stone) and the tiled roofs are insulated against heat. External window frames with screens and tilt mechanisms have been fitted to allow continuous ventilation. Thanks to this natural air conditioning system, the building is cool even on the hottest of summer days. Nevertheless, for supplementary cooling there are fans in all the bedrooms. The pool, which is 4m wide by 8m long and from 1.10m to 1.60m deep, is situated in the rear courtyard next to the BBQ and the lush green garden. Here guests can enjoy the water and the sunshine while admiring the view of the beautiful mountains. The large and shady area by the BBQ provides a space where breakfast, lunch or dinner can be enjoyed accompanied by the sounds of nature. And when night falls, the decorative lighting makes shadows that play with the light in a very impressive way. The rooms are cleaned; towels and bed linens changed every four nights of stay.

When you arrive, you will find all the necessary supplies for your basic needs (coffee, sugar, mineral water, juice, milk, toast, jam, butter, biscuits, fruit, eggs, ham, cheese and cake) have been provided in the kitchen to welcome you, along with a gift box containing raki (a Cretan distilled drink) and a bottle of wine.
