It is a designated "Traditional Cretan Neighbourhood" of the 1800's that has been fully reconstructed while maintaining all of its original architectural and cultural elements. At the panoramic Cressa Iris restaurant all guests have the opportunity to taste an awakening combination of Cretan and other Greek dishes, some of which originate from Cressa's own biological garden.

There you will have the opportunity to travel back in time and return to the traditional Cretan way life, in a picturesque, untouched village, while still benefiting from all modern luxuries.

Zimmer

At each of Cressa Ghitonia’s 15 houses, suites, studios or rooms you will have the opportunity to travel back in time, but still benefit from all modern comforts. Each-and-every-one of our rooms is truly unique, with historical value, and it has maintained its heritage. 
In the past centuries, most of these properties where the permanent residences of the people of the village of Sfaka or were used by them for their every day activities. One of the houses used to be a winepress, in another the Sfakans used to produce olive oil, and in a third they made and repaired shoes. Every room has maintained its original layout depending on the property’s former use.
