The charm and tranquility of the village is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of other seaside resorts. For those who love the sea there are excellent beaches half an hour away from home.
 Melesses is an agricultural community surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. We are located in the heart of the Peza wine country. You can taste the wine and raki from the small vineyard you find in the farm or visit some fine wineries that offer free wine tasting and are only a few minutes' drive away. For food lovers, restaurants with authentic local food and gourmet restaurants are nearby. The area offers the famous Cretan cuisine with its essentials: extra virgin olive oil and wine.

The landscape with endless mountain peaks is ideal if photography, painting or writing is your hobby. You can enjoy the sunshine, the bright blue sky, the crunching of the crickets in the garden and the endless view of the olive groves, the vineyards, the hills, the nearby villages and the churches. There is a beautiful view of the village and the ridge from the Lasithi Mountains to the pool. Enjoy the outdoors, outside the house in the cool plinth, under the olive trees on the hammocks or on the lawn, or in the pool, for sunbathing. If you practice yoga, bring your mats. It is great to practice out in the morning / evening. The private pool is ideal for relaxing and water games. A shower next to the pool makes your life easier. In the afternoons you can watch sparrows or swallows flying in the pool to soak their bellies in the water.
Please note that the pool is not heated and is therefore used from April to October. There are a few animals such as hens and two kids who can offer their products (egg and milk), there are some cats usually sleeping on the tile or on the wood oven and Vitto, a German shepherd dog, very social, friendly and very protective of children. There is also a wood oven that you can cook if you know its function and a barbecue that cooks with charcoal olives.
 If you smoke, we would appreciate you doing it out. The winters are mild and the summers are fantastic on dry and hot days and cool nights.
You will have to use the entire house except the store next to the house and there are the tools for the care of the pharma.
 Everyday you need the care of the farm and the animals and it will take a few hours for our discreet presence to clean the pool or control the measurements of the solar energy at home. The roof is covered by solar panels because we collect electricity from the sun. That's why it is forbidden to enter the roof.
 Upon arrival, we can assist you with anything else you need (car rental, airport pick-up, etc.). The airport and the harbor are 20 km away.
And whatever else you need will be at your disposal!
