Guest access The house is located in the picturesque "Episkopi" village with a supermarket in walkable distance, groceries, bakeries and petrol station only a min away on foot. By a five mins ride, the guests can reach one of the longest and most beautiful beaches of northern Crete that stretches for over 10km. For children, playgrounds are provided by several beach restaurants. Other things to note The house is quite spacious and therefore airy under a traditional tiled roof that helps mitigate the heat. In Crete, daily summer temperatures typically range between 24 and 33 °C, which is standard for Greek summers. The house of course gets affected in case of heat waves but non of our guests have reported discomfort- according guest reviews. Particularly in August- bear in mind- a sea wind from the north cools the island – called meltemi as mentioned in the weather forecast. Additionally we highly recommend keeping the windows fully open to allow a natural cooling cross- draft thoughout the house. Especially in the evenings, a refreshing sea breeze from the north-west flows in through the twin windows and the veranda. To further enhance comfort, we provide: three portable stand fans, a ceiling fan in both the master bedroom and the kitchen as well as an Air Cooler for additional relief to ensure a refreshing indoor environment, even on the hottest days. Stay cool and comfortable during the warmer months with a range of natural cooling options provided throughout the house. Hope you find this information useful. Registration Details 00003688532
