Tucked away in a quiet lane this old stone house is one of the few historic houses of this age left in the village. Set back behind wrought iron gates in its own courtyard where in times gone by the village gathered around it's massive bread oven to bake the village bread. Now sympathetically renovated into a cosy one bedroom romantic home. It has a living area downstairs with a traditional Cretan stone arch as well as a traditional kitchen and bathroom overlooking the garden. Upstairs is a fully air conditioned bedroom with doors leading out to a spacious roof terrace. Outside there is a large patio area in a large garden ideal for alfresco dining or a barbeque. The large pagoda gives shade throughout the day and the hammock is ideal for a siesta. The house is ideal for a romantic break with it's charm and history but has all the modern conviences including full wi-fi, music system and local guide books. There is no TV ! It is in a stunning location close to some of the best unspoilt beaches in Crete and gives a glimpse of the traditional greek life from a bygone era and lets you relax into the pace of village life.

Hello. We are both looking forward to welcoming you to our beautiful home. The Arch House is the perfect place for a romantic break in a quiet Cretan village. Easy Access to both Kato Zakros and Xercocampos make Zakros the perfect hub to explore the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Eleni & Harry

Set down from the church everything is within easy walking distance in the village including the mini markets, kafenions and places to eat. The village is within easy driving distance of the unspoilt beaches at Xerocampos and the beachside tavernas and Minoan palace at Kato Zakros. The famous E4 trekking route passes by the home and the entrance to the George of the Dead is close by.
