Apart from the stone jardinieres, which decorate the area surrounding the apartments, there are two large rock gardens, in which ornamental plants and scattered bushes of local herbs, such as thyme, oregano, mint, throumbi, rosemary, sage e.t.c. grow together. During the evening their scents mix with the aroma of the jasmine and the basil.

Outside every apartment, there is a wooden canopy and comfortable seats- “rustic”-style- while all the interior and exterior decoration is a hymn to the Cretan tradition.

The tiled yard is the beginning of many paths which lead either to the barbecue -at the disposal of every visitor- or to the small Greek- Orthodox church of Agios Nikolaos( Saint Nicolas); or to the rock gardens; or to the open-air “Weight Training” Gym, addressed to those who don’t want to lose their fitness during vacations. Moreover, seats, hammocks and areas for daydreaming are available all over the surrounding space.
