AT THE COTTAGE

Imagine waking up in a traditional village on Crete Island in Greece...

Stepping outside, you're greeted by the warm smiles and friendly "Kalimera" (Good morning) of your neighbors as they pass by.

Returning to your cottage, you open the wooden shutters of the kitchen window, revealing a picturesque view of an old stone house – its stone remnants standing strong, where a majestic tree has grown, reaching towards the sky, and vibrant flowers cascading down your rooftop.

Reaching into the fridge, you grab a "kaltsuni," a traditional Cretan sweet cheese pastry, a delicious treat to accompany your coffee.

Settling onto the stone steps of your cottage, you bask in the warm embrace of the sun, a sense of peace and contentment washing over you.

A harmonious chorus of birdsong fills the air, accompanied by the gentle purring of neighboring cats basking in the sun's warmth.

Your Cretan adventure has truly begun…

Sunlight streams through your window, casting playful shadows on the stone walls of the historic Church of Sotiris Christos, just next to your cottage.

You descend the wooden stairs, the rich aroma of fresh coffee beckoning you towards the kitchen.

As you savor your first sip, the melodic chirping of birds fills the air…
