ABOUT US

We are owners of rental houses in Crete. A restoration project, which went deep into the local history and traditions and our personal passion to discover hideaway gems in our travels, was what motivated us to create Cretehouses.gr

Back in 2015 we decided to restore our grandparents’ 19th century house in Pefki, a picturesque Cretan village, where we have spent our childhood Easter and summer holidays. We have very fond memories of this place and we were lucky enough to experience the local life through the years.

Coming from Athens, being travelers and having a personal passion to discover hideaway gems in our travels, we appreciated the fact that the village has stayed untouched from time and modern trends. It is a gem offering authenticity and tranquility, and at the same a wealth of choice in only a few minutes’ drive.

The restoration project took us even deeper into the local history, architecture and traditions and it was what motivated us to turn our two houses into holiday rental houses for other people to stay and have the same authentic experiences that we have.
