property, encompassing 50 enclosed acres, is located on a hill south of
the city of Heraklion (12 km). Within the property are vineyards, olive
trees, fruit trees, aromatic trees and herbs. Also on the estate are
several animals, including ducks, geese, chickens, wild pigeons, horses,
cows, goats and boar. The estate includes two separate villas, each with
its own swimming pool - Villa Poseidon and Villa Zeus. They are 300 meters
away from each other. In addition, there is a separate location within the
estate with a swimming pool, where the housekeeper Stella can prepare
wonderful meals for guests. The meals can be served in this spot, or at
the villas for more privacy. This is a wonderful location for day trips to
the archeological sites such as the Palace of Knossos, the cities of
Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Rethymnon and Chania, as well as the beaches in
the south. The owner will organize one complimentary guided excursion per
week (free transportation with a private minivan; meals or tickets for
archaeological sights are an extra cost). The airport of Nikos Kazantzakis

can always then be delivered to the villa. Villa Zeus is located a bit
further up on the hill, above Villa Poseidon. There are wonderful views of
