Authentic Cretan Stone Windmill

Three friends and myself stayed at the Windmill at Anemomili for five nights. We loved the drive up to Sitia that grew more and more wild and beautiful. The windmill is magical. Extremely comfortable and put together with so much care, artistry and love. The hosts were proactive and keen to ensure that we had a good time, giving us a lot of ideas of what to do. We had some beautiful beach days (Vai and Itanos are fabulous), and also visited Toplou monastery and some of the archeological sites. We loved a supper at Retro in Palekastro - great local food at reasonable prices. We also cooked in a lot and the kitchen was easy to use and had everything we needed. There is no shop/mini market in Agria Fotia so you must do your food shopping in Sitia or Palekastro. That side of the coast is quite wild, and swimming in the beaches very close to the windmill is not great unless the day is very calm. But, there are such beautiful beaches not far away that that shouldn't be a concern. Thank you to our hosts - we loved every moment of our time there.

Lovely house, actually an old windmill done up very nicely. The garden is great, with a swing and climbing trees for the kids, and fresh lemons right from the orchard! Very nice people, checkin and checkout with no hassle. They even made us some cakes :)

We had a fantastic stay at this exceptional place. The Mill offers everything You need for some relaxed days, huge terrace with seaview and even a hammock. Very friendly and helpful hosts! Perfect location to explore the eastern part of Crete.

3 months in this beautiful mill were really fantastic ! We enjoyed everything and were spécially happy about the situation, the quality and the originality of the spot. Great period, still fresh and often we were the only strange strangers ! We made a warm fire everyday and had great instructive conversations with Lefteris and Kate. Unforgetable holydays and we recomand absolutely !

Our family recently enjoyed a week at a delightful windmill property near Sitia, and it was an enchanting experience. The windmill seamlessly combined modern comfort with traditional charm, offering a cozy and well-equipped retreat. The host's warm hospitality was a highlight, with fresh garden produce adding an authentic touch to our meals. Surrounded by the beauty of Crete and view to the sea. Our children loved the unique setting, where they could explore and take care of the property's cats. In summary, our week was a magical escape, offering an authentic and memorable family vacation. Highly recommended!
