Holiday rentals in Lithines

Iosef is a wonderful host. He made us feel welcome right from the very start. His traditional Cretan home, that he has lovingly restored is truly magical. The views overlooking Sitia are absolutely breathtaking. You are surrounded by wild flowers, olive groves and not forgetting overlooking the turquoise waters of the Agean sea. Anyone who wants to Immerse themselves in nature, Cretan culture, flower scented clean air and perfect stillness. Then Iosef's beautiful home is for you. Iosef thank you so much for your kind hospitality, we enjoyed every single moment, especially the local honey!! We will definitely be back!!

We felt very comfortable, the small village is very nice, the view from the terrace to the mountains is great! The small apartment is totally authentic and cozy. In 10 minutes you can reach a great beach.

We had a wonderful stay at the Seascape Villa! The views are truly stunning and the photos do not do them justice! Maria was an incredible and caring host/ point of contact and was so responsive, providing special tips and recommendations to make our visit enjoyable! She’s happy to help, and even called ahead to restaurants for vegan options for us - thanks! The separate and very private bedrooms with their own entrances are great for sharing the space. Lots of outdoor places to relax and enjoy the view. The secluded rocky beach is breathtaking and absolutely worth the hike down and up - more for the adventurous type but absolutely doable and worth it! So peaceful and gorgeous down at that beach. Sometimes there is some noise from the neighbors and their dogs, cats, and from the road behind the house which is normal/ typical if off a main road and with neighbors - just flagging that although it is private and somewhat secluded it can get noisy at times. 100 percent would return!!

The house stole our hearts. Very authentic and in a village in which you feel that you go back in the last century. Away from mass tourism and with fantastic hiking opportunities.

Communication with Oksana was impeccable, there was no difficulty. It is a beautiful and quiet apartment which is fully equipped for its guests. It had kitchen utensils, all personal toiletries (from disposable razors to laundry tablets and anything else imaginable). The location was fantastic as it was close to mini market and is located in the center of the village. It was all wonderfully clearly worth the money.

We had an indescribably beautiful time in the windmill. The view and the garden are stunning. Everything is prepared with so much attention to detail. We lacked nothing. In the village you can eat very well. You're just comfortable. We are happy that we were allowed to be there. If you're looking for something special, highly recommend this place.

Armeni is a small village located in a Cretan mountains plateau. Stone Mansion, placed at the calm edge of the village, is a beautiful summer house, deserving its name. It hosts 3 apartments, with a large common yard/terrace. I was the only guest at the time, so I had all the luxury just for myself. The terrace itself and the surroundings offer majestic sky views with hypnotic sounds of pristine nature (frogs?) at night. In the morning, you are greeted with the calling of hysterical roosters. An authentic, rural, countryside at its best. The rooms are cosy, spacious and airy, modern, and fully equipped for a comfortable life. The nearest coast is located ~20 minutes by car, I loved a little bit more distant Xerokampos for its diverse beaches, dubbed "Greek Maldives". Eva and her mom were genuinely warm and forthcoming as hosts, even though we met just briefly. Greeted me with fruit and homemade cookies, communicated well on chat. This was despite my late notice and on Sunday. Thanks!<3

I have only good things to say about this home, I was extremely happy with my stay here. The space is clean, comfortable and thoughtfully created. The hosts are warm and provided incredible Cretan hospitality. I felt really relaxed and welcomed through the whole stay. The village is something special with a kind of character and old world charm that makes this island a treasure. The surrounding areas are breathtaking and I believe the beaches nearby might be some of the best on the island. Maria was so generous sharing her suggestions of places to visit, always responsive and kind. Anna greeted me personally on arrival, gifting me amazing baked goods and some of the smoothest raki I’ve ever tasted. If you have the opportunity to stay here you absolutely should, it is the kind of place that you will always remember fondly. Thank you Anna and Maria! I am so grateful for your grace and hospitality ♥️
