1. Outdoor Activities in the nearby area of Patsos (Amari Rethymno Crete)

Your host: Vassilis

I was born and live in Patsos, the picturesque and historic village in Rethymnon, Crete. I served in the Hellenic Special Forces for 23 years (retired Lt. Colonel), graduated and certified of all military schools, such as parachuting, climbing and sea diving. I have a keen interest and lots of knowledge about historical and cultural events on Crete.

All the above, in combination with the genuine and lively Cretan hospitality, the real Cretan food will take you back to the taste of our grandmothers. If you want to see, feel, taste and experience the REAL Crete… you must visit Patsos village and Patsos gorge.

2. Authentic homemade Cretan food prepared by Ms Maria – all Organic!

Traditional Taverna at PATSOS (operating since 1933). At the end of the tours we return to Maria’s Tavern, to relive the dream once again of delicious, traditional dishes of fresh vegetables, meat & extra virgin olive oil all produced in family fields – all ORGANIC!

3. Ecotourism accommodation in Patsos village Rethymno Crete

For those wishing to stay, there is the opportunity to accommodate up to 7 people in a house 100 square meters, located in the heart of Patsos village, above the small tavern ”Patsos”. It is surrounded by rich and dense vegetation as well as a perennial plane tree (300 years old) in front of it and the village fountain with crystal clear waters.

There are 5 fixed beds (one double and three single) in two separate rooms and 2 folding if required. Also it has a huge and marvelous balcony where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the wild beauty of the mountains of Amari and a peaceful silence only interrupted by the chirping of the birds and the waters of the village fountain. In addition to the above this house has all the household and technological (Free WiFi, A/C, Satelite TV) equipment, as well as free parking. The family and pleasant atmosphere, as in the old times, make you feel like your home away from home.
