Description

At an 800 m height, in a mountainous landscape with total tranquility, stay at the “Eaglesʼs outpost” offers a unique experience for you. You will enjoy a view to the grey/green olive grove and to the blue expanse of the Aegean sea, you will adore the dives in the huge swimming pool and will organize excursions to the surrounding area. Aetovigla is just 4 km away from Kroussonas, the main village, and 25 km from Heraklion.

The six cottages of Aetovigla are scattered on the slope of the estate and have an amazing view, blending harmoniously with the landscape. Simple and uniform constructions with stone walls and roofs made of ceramic tiles, the houses are independent from each other and guarantee autonomy and isolation to its residents.

At the center of the estate you will find the big swimming pool and the pool for the children. The space is beautifully decorated with sun umbrellas and sun beds, while the view is simply magnificent.

There is a vegetable garden at the guests disposal. The guests can cook simple foods with fresh season’s vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini).

To see / To do

Walk around and explore marked trails, accompanied by the owners, qualified guides or on your own, starting from your place of stay or within 10 km.
Guesthouses located at an altitude of at least 800m, in a perfect setting for relaxation, walks and activities close to nature
In the main village, Kroussonas, just 4 km away, you will find anything you might need: a bank with an ATM machine, shops, taverns, a drugstore, coops to buy local products, etc.

The closest excursion you can make from the guesthouse is to the women’s monastery of Aghia Irini (1.5 km away.) You can also do trekking through the Aghia Irini gorge.

An interesting trip with a car through a dirt road of medium difficulty would lead you to the Kroussanioniko plateau at 1,200 m height where Mitata (the domed buildings of the shepherds are) and large estates with apple trees can be found.

The mountain next to Aetovigla is called Gournos and is a «Natura 2000 protected area», where various species of birds reside and the last pairs of Gypaeti (a species of birds of prey that is in extinction) have nests.

The closest beach is Gazi, 16 km from the guesthouse.
