If you want to explore Crete from an authentic quiet mountain village, then Charaso (municipality of Hersonisos) is your holiday destination.
Stay in our luxurious, renovated Villa Raki.
To get to Villa Raki, a (rental) car is a must!
Charaso is a beautiful old mountain village with about 40 inhabitants and is located at an altitude of 453 meters. In Charaso itself you will not find a supermarket or bakery, for this you descend a car for about 10 minutes to Pano Gouves. Recently a kafeneio has opened in the village where you can eat delicious traditional food.
Because Charaso is high up, you have beautiful views of the sea and the mountains from various sides. From Villa Raki you can make beautiful mountain walks through the olive groves and beautiful nature. Take a walk to the old stone mills.
The capital Heraklion and the airport are a 30-minute drive away. A 10-minute drive away is Pano Gouves where you will find 2 mini-markets, several taverns and an authentic bakery. Kato Gouves, a 15-minute drive away, is a pleasant seaside resort with sandy beaches, shops, taverns, supermarkets and even a small boulevard.

The 120m3 spacious house has a large terrace with BBQ, and a roof terrace with sunbeds.
