| Frangokastello sits at the edge of a natural plain parallel to the sea on Crete’s ruggedly beautiful south coast. It took its name from the 14th Century Fortress that dominates this stretch of coastline. The Fort was built next to the beach to assure protection against pirates and Cretan rebels. During the battle for Independence a high number of Greek soldiers were slain within the fort and their martyrdom became legendary. Locals claim to this day that around 17th of May each year the ghosts of the slain soldiers appear in the misty dawn light and march from the castle to the sea. This phenomenon has been recorded over the ages and, as yet, remains unexplained!
The Frangokastello of today is a scattering of accommodation, a handful of tavernas and two or three mini-markets positioned alongside the beautiful beaches situated east and west of the old fort and beneath the regions spectacular mountain backdrop. People come here for many reasons. The area is a delight for walkers with easy coastal paths and challenging gorges; the laid back feel of the place makes it ideal for those seeking pure relaxation; and, for those who love to explore, heading west by boat or east by car its possible to discover the natural raw beauty that lies all along the south coast. Whatever your choice we feel you will be more than happy to return each day to the comfort of Nostos Villas. These five houses, tastefully and attractively furnished Cretan style, nestle amongst pretty gardens. Their lovely design comes from the very hospitable owner, Eleni, who has done her utmost to ensure you feel at home the moment you arrive. On the ground floor of each villa there is a twin bedroom, a bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen and a living area. An open staircase leads to a spacious, air-conditioned, mezzanine style sleeping gallery with a double bed. There is a shady terrace downstairs and a balcony with views to the sea upstairs. The nearest beach is only 300 metres away where you will find invitingly clear water, so characteristic of the south coast. Less than a five-minute walk in either direction gives you a wide choice of tavernas. There is a mini-market two minutes from the villas but we think the only essential items will be the ingredients for a nightcap to complement the tranquillity and star-filled sky of this beautiful place! |
