Unusually there are two swimming pools, both of which can be

two pools with the water feature being located between the two. From
this water feature a manmade stream runs under glass on a step, through
the rocks and feeds two water features. To the right a self-contained
pond with water plants and goldfish and to the left a small stream
around two sides of one of the ground floor bedrooms with plants and
goldfish.
The Terrace is the main outdoor
space, giving you views across Souda Bay, large enough to have three
defined area. The covered outdoor kitchen with a large gas BBQ, sink
and refrigerated unit for all your supplies. Next to this is the large
dining table, also in the shade.
Next to the endless pool is a shaded area for sun loungers and a sitting
area to enjoy your coffee, after dinner drinks or simply sit and enjoy
having the time for conversations. There is also a large, uncovered,
area for sun-lovers and evenings.
Underneath
the Terrace is where you will find a cool and quiet area set up for
massages. The fully qualified masseuse or masseur can be booked prior to
your arrival or during your stay. A shower room and toilet are also
located here.
Outside spaces.
Being located on a large plot of land with olives trees and of course
carob inspired the owner to create different spaces to enhance your
stay. Solar lights are used to light up the olive trees and other places
of interest around the land.
The Carob Circle,
a favourite location of the owner, this large shady carob tree has had a
stone and wood semi-circle constructed around the base to create a
quiet space to enjoy a place to sit and converse.
The Reading Tree
With its path starting at the Carob Circle a short walk leads you to a
shady olive tree set up so you can relax and enjoy a good book. We have
only provided room for two, so you don’t get tempted away from your
reading.
Between the Cottage and the lap pool
you will find a path leading to a two seater bench set up for you to
enjoy the view of all of Souda Bay and across to the White Mountains.
The
exercise pergola
a large, covered area at the side of the Keep is shaded so that you can
comfortably take your yoga class. We have mats and a variety of
resistance fitness bands for your use.
