One of our favourite spots for sunset mediation is the beach at Ancient Falassarna.
The colors of the sky moments before sunset in combination to the sounds of from the ocean is one of the best ways to reset, recharge, and get into the right headspace for the colder months ahead!

The Lake of Kournas is the only freshwater lake Crete.
Its about 15 mins drive from some of our artists workshops and homes in the region of Apokoronas, we highly recommend it as a pit stop post studio visit for our guests.
Situated in the village of Georgioupoli, perfect for those that love to be near the water but don't necessarily want to visit a beach every day.
Rent a paddle boat and explore the green blue waters.

As we all know avocados are a great source of vitamins and when consumed in moderation have many many health benefits.
Roughly 90% of avocado's in Greece are produced right here in Crete!
This gives us the freshest, ripest version of the meals they are included in.
