Built on Myrtos first house land - property of our great grand father. He was called Captain Yiannis Daskalakis and was the founder of contemporary Myrtos and also a succesfull warrier and captain against the Otoman occupation. This a family run resort and Maria - the mother - is the center of its breathing. She checks the rooms, the yard around, the flowers; everything should be clean and proper... She uses Italian, English, German, Greek, and mainly body language in an excelent communication. We the rest of he family are her pupils...

We are family of musicians, dancers, actors. We know well enough the history, music, dances, tradition of Crete and Greece in general. We like exchance relevant information with our visitors. Twice a week we give small evening concerts of tradional greek music. Some friends come and drink local Raki with us in a very friendly party with dance.

The old stone church of San Antonio comes from long way back since the Venician period - 14 BC. The dominates the area with its big yard around it in a calm and peacefull way. Next to it is the local museum with archeological Minoan findings from Myrtos, and other items related to Myrtos history and culture. Myrtos is considered until today the older culture in Crete with a very long known history of 5000 years. The two hills to the east of the village carry the remains of that long history.
