Just a short drive from Heraklion, nestled in the quiet hillside village of Rodia, lies Athene and Emmanouil Place — a cozy, ground-floor home with views of the Cretan Sea. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, or small families, this private retreat offers simplicity, comfort, and a calm atmosphere — everything you need to unwind and explore at your own pace. This one-bedroom home welcomes you with a simple, well-kept interior and gentle light pouring through the windows. The living room features a comfortable sofa bed, a TV, and a view toward the sea. A small dining area and a fully equipped kitchen allow you to enjoy meals at home with ease. The bedroom, with its double bed and soft curtains, offers a quiet and restful space. The bathroom includes a shower and all basic amenities. Outside, a few terracotta pots and the open air create the familiar feeling of a quiet countryside home. Access to the house is via three exterior steps, and the entire home is on one level — private, quiet, and entirely for your use. There are no shared spaces, ensuring full privacy throughout your stay. Please note that the house does not include a washing machine. It's best suited for guests looking for peace, quiet, and comfort — not for parties or loud gatherings. We recommend having a car to get around easily, as the house is located just outside the center of the village. Whether you're traveling alone or with loved ones, this place offers an ideal balance of comfort and location.

Rodia is a peaceful, traditional village just 12 miles from Heraklion Airport and around 20 minutes from the city center. From Athene and Emmanouil Place, you’ll have easy access to many of Crete’s landmarks — the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, the Venetian Walls, the Minoan Palace of Knossos, and the Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos. The surrounding landscape offers sea and mountain views, while nearby Palaiokastro beach and the Pankritio Stadium give you options for swimming or local sports events. The private setting of the house ensures peace and quiet, while the location makes exploration easy and exciting.
