On a mountain plateau extending between Lefka Ori and the South Cretan Sea one finds the small beautiful village of Agios Ioannis considered to be one of the most isolated villages in Crete with a year-round population. Agios Ioannis is where the road ends and a network of foot paths is starting. Short and long paths lead to the mountain, to the gorges, to the sea. The sea that is also reachable by car! Petres, the greek for "stones", an old "feel like the villagers" house rebuilt in 2023. MAVRA GREMNA named after the black cliffs overlooking the village can accommodate up to two guests in one bed. En suite private bathroom with wc and shower and full access to the common room with all conveniences and ingredients to (self) prepare breakfast. Seating areas in the front yard, under the shade of a 1000 old olive tree and mulberry trees!
