Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Lithos Traditional Guest Houses, located at Xerokampos, Lasithi, 72300, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand.

Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Lithos Traditional Guest Houses are revisited so often.
