Achlada - Mourtzanakis Residence Eco villas

A wonderful stay with my friend for a yoga retreat! The place was peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature — the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and connect. Highly recommended.

Wow, dearest Marcus, the kindest owner and creator of this oasis. I have no words to thank you for a wonderful family vacation. You welcomed us so warmly, full of love and peace. A beautiful hotel with a private living unit, a fantastic kitchen where you can cook inspired by the sounds of nature and the fresh smell of olive trees. We slept so well, and so does our 2.5 year old daughter. We already miss you and waiting for the next opportunity to meet and enjoy your magical company. Big love, hugs and all the best ❤️

The residence is strategically located 30 minutes from Iraklion airport and 15 minutes from the nearest beautiful beach. It provides a stunning view of Iraklion to the east and of the sea to the west. You will never get bored from the stunning sunset views, the sound of sheeps in the morning and the scent of the garden. The apartments are beautiful, designed with simplicity, adequately equipped and very cosy to stay in. There is also a swimming pool for your morning wake up dive or evening relax. Marcos, the owner, is amazing with his hospitality and knowledge of Greek and Cretan history and ancient family roots. He helped us with everything we needed from tips to visit interesting and less tourist packed places, tavernas with excellent cuisine to securing a rental car that was waiting for us at the airport. If you are looking for a true Cretan hospitality experience, this is the place to go.

Absolutely an unforgettable stay, Marcos is the kindest host. The place is full with love, breathtaking views and wonderful location. Cannot wish for more!

Beautiful location Wonderful food. Absolutely exceptional host, most interesting, engaging, knowledgeable gentleman I have met in a long time. Did not want to leave to stop talking. It's really worth visiting even if just for food. You will really fall in love with the breathtaking beauty of the landscapes and sunsets. The service here is something one can never usually just come by. It is a special memorable experience
