TO SEE
Episkopi is ideally located for exploring the diverse attractions of Northern Crete. The nearby beach offers both bustling activity zones with lifeguards and quieter spots for those seeking solitude. For a change of scenery, the village of Argiroupolis is a short drive away, where visitors can enjoy natural springs and lush vegetation—a true taste of Cretan paradise. The sounds of waterfalls and the panoramic views provide a soothing experience that complements the local culinary offerings. Additionally, Lake Kournas is within easy reach, offering opportunities for sunbathing, swimming, and dining by the scenic freshwater lake against a mountainous backdrop.
TO DO
MariAndry Villa’s location makes it an excellent base for further exploration of Crete’s northern coast. Guests can venture to Petres beach at the eastern end of the Episkopi beachfront, where the Petres Gorge creates a dramatic landscape ideal for snorkeling and fishing due to its rocky seabed. Beyond lounging on the beaches, visitors can engage in water sports, explore the local marketplaces for unique souvenirs, or enjoy a pedalo ride around Lake Kournas. The area’s rich cultural tapestry is woven with opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and immersive experiences in one of Greece’s most enchanting settings.
