Neighbourhood highlights

Situated just 1.5 to 2 kilometres south of the historic village of Anogeia, Eleni's Home boasts a neighbourhood filled with captivating attractions.

A mere 950 meters away lies "The Shepherd's Place" ("O Topos tou Voskou") or "The Shepherd's House" ("To Spiti tou Voskou"), a remarkable theme park dedicated to showcasing and preserving the local livestock tradition that has thrived in the Psiloritis region for thousands of years.

Within 7.3 kilometres from our delightful abode, you'll discover Zominthos, a small plateau nestled in the northern foothills of Mount Ida (Psiloritis), renowned for its impressive Minoan ruins.

For those seeking a touch of spirituality, a charming church devoted to Agios Yakinthos (Saint Hyacinth), Greece's patron saint of love, awaits just 9.3 kilometres away. The annual "Yakintheia Arts and Music Festival", held there during the summer, adds a vibrant touch to the area.

Standing majestically 26 kilometres from our location is Mount Ida (Psiloritis), the highest mountain in Crete, with an elevation of 2,456 meters. Its awe-inspiring beauty and opportunities for hiking and exploration beckon adventurers.

Anogeia itself is a village steeped in history and culture, celebrated throughout Greece. Don't miss the chance to visit the home of Nikos Xylouris, the renowned Greek musician. Indulge in traditional Greek coffee and savour the diverse flavours of Cretan cuisine at the village's charming traditional cafes and taverns. The "Nikos Xylouris" theatre, located in Anogeia, also hosts a variety of cultural events.

This is just a glimpse of what awaits you in this culturally and geographically abundant region. There is so much more to discover and experience in and around Anogeia!
