Zach and Marina are charming hosts who made us very welcome. The house has been restored and furnished sensitively, there is lots of space inside and out, on those hot days the terrace gets a lovely cooling wind. Not to forget zacks amazing honey and olive oil, liquid gold.

Very good 2 weeks stay, Perivolia is well located to discover the most beautiful beaches of Crete. We alternated walks, trails and beaches. Coast road is beautiful and there are small restaurants around. Zach and MArina are super helpfull and kind hosts, we had very nice time with them. House is very nice and decorated. The terrass is great. We will come back !!!

Zacharias is such a lovely host: we messaged en route and he met us in the village (on bike) to guide us up to the house. There was Zacharias' own red wine, honey AND olive oil on the table for us to use during our stay and we wish we could have taken more home with us! He is a fabulous host with a wealth of local knowledge (trust his weather forecast over all others!), available when you need him and otherwise allows his guests the privacy and chance to unwind in the beautiful house.
The house is an oasis of cool and calm in the Crete heat: sunny areas for breakfast, a shaded eating area for lunch and just enjoying the stunning mountain views. We loved the mosquito screens across both doors so you can enjoy the evening breeze wafting through the house and NO bites the whole holiday. Bliss! Great wifi, too.
There are beautiful walks from the doorstep and shortish drives to pick up the numerous coastal E4 walking routes. It is around 25 minutes drive to Kedradosas beach which is magical with juniper trees for shade (or walk from Elafonissi). There are four tavernas in the next village of Elios - you could eat out every night. Best meal has to be Gialates in Livadia which we discovered by chance. Can't wait to return for a walking holiday next time in a cooler month: September? For now we are back home but still enjoying breakfast with more of Zacharias' honey, thank you!
