Anidri Eco-cottages

See more Self catering. See best of Crete in Greece.


A peaceful eco-retreat nestling in olive groves above Crete’s spectacular south coast, with two 3-bedroom cottages (B&B or house rental) and a seminar/yoga room.

From the moment you awake to the tinkling of goatbells and the buzzing of cicadas, you know it’s going to be a good day. Step barefoot onto the sunwarmed terrace: a gentle breeze, bright blue skies, endless olive trees, no traffic noise. Surely this is how Nature intended us to live?

Mario and Andrea, the couple who designed and built this eco-retreat on Crete’s south coast, would agree. Leaving behind German city life, they came to the laid-back resort of Paleochora 10 years ago, started a small café and gave tajijua lessons, all the while dreaming of a place where people from different backgrounds could unwind and exchange ideas in simple, natural surroundings. Slowly, the dream became reality. Land was bought in the fertile hills near Anidri, 5 km inland, and a pair of ecofriendly, 3-bedroom guesthouses and a hi-tech seminar room built. Then they opened their doors to friends and guests seeking beauty and inspiration away from Crete’s resorts, but not far from some of her most pristine beaches and dramatic mountains.
