More than just a rental, this property reflects the values we look for: authenticity, comfort, and a strong connection to the local spirit of Crete.

Named in honor of the grandmother ("Yiayia") who once lived here, this beautifully restored home blends traditional character with thoughtful updates—offering guests an experience that’s both grounded and elevated.  At the same time, the house surprises with comforts you wouldn’t typically expect in a rural Cretan home.

Spread across two bright and spacious floors, Yiayia’s Place sleeps up to 7 guests, featuring three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a sleeper sofa in the living room. Unlike many stone houses, Yiayia’s Place offers an open, airy layout with plenty of natural light throughout.

The master bedroom upstairs includes a private indoor jacuzzi and opens onto a large terrace that spans almost the entire upper level—a perfect spot for quiet mornings or evenings under the stars. Downstairs, guests can enjoy ample outdoor space, a large BBQ, and areas for both lounging and dining in the shade of the garden.

Located in a peaceful village setting, the home is just a short drive from the coastal towns of Kokkinos Pyrgos and Agia Galini, making it an ideal base for exploring southern Crete—or for doing nothing at all.

Yiayia’s Place is a welcome addition to The Grove Crete’s portfolio: a home with history, heart, and just the right mix of tradition and modern comfort.
