The village
Zaros is a picturesque traditional village, 45 km from Heraklion at the plain of Mount Psiloritis, blessed with natural water springs and a small lake.
The village dates back to ancient times and this is reflected on the presence of a Roman aqueduct, on its traditional alleys built according to ancient architectural motives and on its temples. The village is famous for its beautiful lake as well as for the trout fish farm. Also, we recommend you to visit "Vegera" cafe-tavern at the centre of the village, where traditional Cretan cuisine is served with homemade wine and raki (the famous Cretan alcoholic beverage made by distilling grape pomace).
The famous gorge of Rouvas with its kermes oak forest is located near the village, as well as the old monasteries of Valsamonero, Vrontisi, Agios Nikolaos. Among other sites worth visiting we find the Nida plateau, the old settlements of Kourites, Fari, Drosou, Paliamas and the Laloumas' dam. The area is perfect for hiking.
Furthermore the town of Moires is just a 15-minute drive away where you can shop at the local shops and at the open-air market (pazari) every Saturday. The archaeological sites of Faistos and Gortyna are also very near. Following a 25-minute drive you reach the magnificent beaches of Matala, Komos, Agia Triada, Kokkinos Pyrgos and others
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and local meal delivery service. Housekeeping is available on request.

Vivi's Apartment ist ein Ort zum Krafttanken. Alles Notwendige ist vorhanden, man kann sich rundum wohlfühlen. Vivi ist unglaublich liebevoll und verwöhnt auf sehr fröhliche Art ihre Gäste auch in ihrer Taverne. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub und kommen gern wieder.

Rest and load your batteries
I felt at home immediately, and it`s seems bigger than on the pictures, very comfy bed and two bathrooms/shower with toilet. Kitchen was fully equiped. I found lots of goodies - herbs, tea, coffee shampoo,bodylotion etc.. But bring your own repellent the outdoor pool attractive for mosquitos. Very nice sitting area outside to relax and enjoy the pool. Vivi offered a shuttle servis from the parkinglot to the house, a steep 100 m walk. She drove my luggage with her Mini up to the house. Unusual but very convenient. She welcomed me like an old friend and made it even more easy to feel like home.A visit at her restaurant is a must!! The best and most delishes food that Criti has to offer, but bring an empty stomach and a great apetite. Spectacular! She creates an astonishing tasty and overwelming menue. It`s defined an experiance of a lifetime. Thank you Vivi from the bottom of my heart, I had a wonderful time and will be back. Efrachristo parapoly
