Η τοποθεσία του σπιτιού είναι πανέμορφη, με θέα στο φαράγγι, και ταυτόχρονα εξαιρετικά βολική με άνετο πάρκινγκ, ησυχία και σούπερ μάρκετ σε λίγα μέτρα. Το σπίτι φτιαγμένο με φροντίδα και αισθητική, και τέλεια εξοπλισμένο - πραγματικά δεν σου...

This is a restored pottery workshop located in the village of Margarites. It is divided into two levels, each with its own independent entrance. The main level features a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom (shower, WC), and a bedroom with a double bed. There is also a courtyard and a terrace with a view of the gorge. On the lower level, there is another bedroom with a double bed and its own bathroom (shower, WC), as well as a garden with the preserved traditional kiln. A baby cot and a highchair can be providede, upon request. In the heart of the historic village of Margarites—renowned for its centuries-old pottery tradition—lies a beautifully restored gem that blends authenticity with warm hospitality. Once the pottery workshop of clay artisan Pantelis Karfakis (known as Karfis), this unique rental home has been lovingly transformed while preserving the soul and story of the place. Inside, stone walls and wooden beams whisper tales from a time when Karfis shaped clay with passion, creating true works of art. Elements of the old workshop—such as the preserved kiln and traditional ceramics—have been seamlessly woven into the decor, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and heritage. The courtyard offers a tranquil space to unwind, while the home's location invites guests to explore the village and experience the art of pottery up close. Here, past meets present, and every corner echoes memories of a craft that still lives on.
Just 100 meters from the house, you'll find a mini market, and within 300 meters is the village’s central square with tavernas and a bakery. Ancient Eleutherna is located 4 km from Terra di Karfis, and the Eleutherna Archaeological Museum is just 6 km away. The beaches of Panormo are 10 km away, while the town of Rethymno is at a distance of 23 km. From the house’s veranda, you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Margarites Gorge.
