In the village of Livadia, buying food is still done in the traditional way – you may buy fish from the fishermen in the small harbour, vegetables, dairy products and meat from the farmers, but you will also find three small taverns. There is a mini-market in the village of Kefali and larger supermarkets in the villages of Platanos and Kissamos. A gas station is located about 11 km away in the village of Elos. The villa tenants may, if they wish, take part in the daily activities of the village people: they may charter a boat for a boating outing or fishing, they can learn about or even do some farming work, they may join the village people in their local festivities, they may take part in the annual grape picking and grape stamping to make wine, they can watch how tsikoudia (Cretan local drink) is made etc. Finally, they are sure to become friends with the village people, who still treat foreign visitors as their own guests following the Cretan hospitality tradition

Elafonisi:

One of the most exotic gifts of nature to Crete…Lacy beaches, a forest of age-old cedars, thin white sand made of sea shells, long shallow stretches of sea with turquoise waters where you can wade to, an islet with dunes and lilies and around it a handful of rocks in shallow waters with emerald- coloured sand. Few images of Crete can be compared to the view just before the last turning of the road to Elafonisi ...
