Even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures

Herbert and Elpida’s house is truly beautiful, in a lovely location in the hills overlooking the sea. The house is close to a supermarket and within walking distance of a few nice tavernas. Herbert and Elpida are lovely and generous hosts and made the stay effortless. The beach at Episkopi is perfectly nice, but there are other more beautiful spots within an easy drive. We would love to return.

*** Wunderbar, ruhig und mit fantastischer individueller Betreuung ***

Die Gastgeber haben uns einen sehr freundlichen und warmherzigen Empfang beschert, sie waren jederzeit ansprechbar. Das Haus liegt wunderschön am Rande des Dorfes mit einem fantastischen Ausblick. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Engagierte Vermieter in einem außergewöhnlichen Ferienhaus

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Episkopi bei Elpida und Herbert Ott. Beide sind sehr engagiert und immer bestrebt, ihren Gästen den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Wir haben uns in der großzügigen Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage im Hinterland von Rethimnon hat uns in die Lage versetzt, Ausflüge sowohl bis Chania als auch zur Südküste zu unternehmen. Am Besten hat uns der Ort Argyroupolis (kleine Wasserfälle) ein wenig oberhalb von Episkopi gefallen. Es gibt dort auch eine empfehlenswerte Taverne "ancient Lappa". Nochmal zurück zur Wohnung: Für die heiße Jahreszeit sollte über eine Klimatisierung nachgedacht werden. Die Ventilatoren haben uns nur teilweise geholfen. Alles in Allem trotzdem ein außergewöhnlicher Urlaub bei Familie Ott. Wir kommen gerne wieder... Liebe Grüße...!

Super schöner Urlaub bei freundlichen Gastgebern

Am Rande des Ortes in mitten der Natur gelegen mit einem wahnsinns Ausblick! Die Gastgeber geben dieser traumhaften Wohnung ein großes Herz. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit bei euch! Kleiner Hinweis: es gibt mehrere Episkopi auf Kreta und hier handelt es sich um das zwischen Rethymnon und Chania (nicht das bei Heraklion wie angegeben). Oberhalb von Episkopi Beach.
