Europe / Greece / Crete
1 week for 2 persons at:
Metohi Georgila is a quiet resting place, built in 1908 by Dr Styliano Georgila, a personal friend of Eleftherios Venizelos. This House was not only a home, but also a shelter of hospitality for his friends and family. Years later… wanting to continue the warmth and the generous Cretan hospitality, which by the way our family kept for the last three generations, we reconstructed the building and we created 5 independent residences. Our inspiration wasn’t the need of a business, but the joy of offering and charring. Metohi Georgila is located at Pyrgos Psilonerou, 15,5 klm from the central city of Chania. It’s only 1,5 klm away from the magnificent sandy beach, 1,5 klm from the market center of Maleme village and 4,5 klm away from the recreational and market center of Platanias village. The unique natural surroundings and the peaceful family atmosphere will give you the possibility to enjoy moments of relaxation away from the touristic action, but very close to the most beautiful beaches of our county.
