A Casa Cicala nous avons été accueillis par notre hôte Marika toute souriante et de gentilles attentions qui nous ont fait plaisir. Puis, pendant notre séjour, elle a toujours été disponible pour répondre très vite à nos questions. Certes, devant la maison la route d'accès est relativement passante la journée, mais l'immense et joli jardin-verger compense ce petit désagrément. Quel bonheur de prendre nos repas sur l'une des trois terrasses, parmi les oliviers, grenadiers, bananiers, orangers et de goûter au raisin sucré de la treille. A Casa Cicala les fruits du verger sont à disposition au fil des saisons. La maison est grande, joliment décorée, très bien équipée et très propre. Les chambres donnent sur l'arrière et la literie est confortable. Si nous repassons dans la Messara, nous reviendrons avec joie à Casa Cicala. Encore merci Marika pour votre sourire et votre accueil !
Casa Cicala is located in the midst of Messara Plain, and there are various authentic Cretan villages in the vicinity for you to explore and get a sense of the lifestyle in the country. Shops, tavernas, bakeries and other useful facilities can also be found there:
- Pompia: only 2.5 km from the house, this traditional village offers lovely views of the Plain and Ida Mountains.
- Petrokefali: only 2.5 km from the house. Take a walk around the settlement's streets, flanked by dry stone-walled houses, and travel back in time.
- Mires: 4.5 km from the house. Come here to find plenty of useful shops (super markets, pharmacies, etc). There is also a weekly open-air market to stock up on fresh produce.
- Sivas: 6 km from the house. One of the island's most picturesque villages, certainly a must-see! Do it locals-style: enjoy a late-evening dinner in one of the tavernas on the central square.
The magnificent southern coast of Crete is only a short drive away from Casa Cicala:
- The village of Matala, a world-famous hippie destination in the 1960s and 1970s, still retains its bohemian atmosphere. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Matala Beach and explore the hippie caves. Only 15 minutes by car from the house!
- Kommos Beach. A sandy beach over 2 kilometres long. Come here for a late afternoon swim, in order to catch the gorgeous sunset later on. Nudists are welcome here. Only 15 minutes by car from the house!
- Agiofaraggo Beach. The drive to the parking lot is 40 minutes long, and there is a 30-minute easy and flat trek along the gorge to reach the reward: the crystal-clear, deep-blue waters of the beach. Wild Cretan beauty at its best.
Sights include:
- The Minoan Palace of Festos is only a 9-minute drive away. Walk among the ruins of this equally important but much less archaelogical Minoan sight, enjoy the peace and quiet (unlike Knosos Palace!), contemplate the lives lived on this site thousands of years ago, whilst admiring the absolutely stunning scenery.
- Odigitria Monastery is a 15-minute drive from Casa Cicala. Come here for a taste of history and local tradition. There is also a viewpoint over the Plain.
If you're travelling with family and young children, then Petrini Politeia (750 metres from the house) is a large estate with swimming pools and a restaurant.
Casa Cicala is 60 Km away from the international airport of Heraklion, Nikos Kazanzakis, which is an easy, 50-minute drive.
Casa Cicala makes for an ideal starting point for excursions to the wonderful south of the island.
