The Gardens and Paths
The bungalows of "O Mikros Kosmos" stand amidst ancient olive trees, each visibly marked by its history.
Some trees are many hundreds of years old, and each tree has developed its own personality over the centuries, to which all those who once inhabited or managed this property have also contributed. Thus, each tree tells its own story to all who want to hear it.
These olive trees invite you to take a seat under them, to enjoy their shade in summer, to listen to the birds in winter - and to let yourself be captured by the special atmosphere of these ancient trees of our culture at any time of the year.
Three areas on the property, densely overgrown with agaves and their over eight meter high inflorescences, look like exotic islands. These are islands to marvel at and dream about.
Paved paths and nature trails lead through "O Mikros Kosmos" and invite you to take relaxing little walks through the landscapes and linger. Those who want more views can hike a small hill overlooking ο μικρός κόσμος: the view extends over olive groves, neighboring villages to the Psiloritis Mountains or the Paximadia Islands on the Libyan Sea. And from here (or from the pool, for example) the magnificent starry sky over Crete can be viewed.
If you want to take your time, you will discover many friendly animals at all times of the year, who live here or use "O Mikros Kosmos" as a temporary residence - like the other guests who stay here and enjoy the existence.
The Spa House and the Pool
At “Kleine Welt,” there is an L-shaped pool measuring about 100 square meters that can be used year-round—even without a swimsuit: Here, you can relax in the saltwater and feel as if you’re swimming right into an olive grove...
The pool environment invites you to linger with pleasure. Here, no one has to reserve sunbeds in advance: There is plenty of space and privacy for all guests.
The spa house houses sheltered, covered lounging areas and a cozy sauna for cool days. Showers and the small sauna garden located behind the house enhance the feel-good experience.
There is no dress code in the pool or pool area: You can be there with or without swimwear—whichever you prefer (clothing optional).
