Two
kilometers from the house is the small seaside of Agios Nikolaos, or Saint
Nicolas, the region’s centre. Sixty kilometers further West is the airport of
Irakleion. In reasonable distance from the house are the ruins of the ancient
Minoan cities of Knossos, Phaestos, Lato, Gournia and Zakros, as well as
Byzantine monasteries with unique historical and artistic wealth and interest. The town
of Saint Nicolas offers its inhabitants and tourists alike a modern hospital,
shops, hotels and public services. Finally, a little distance away from the
house, is a marina for private boats, fully equipped with the latest facilities. |
