Mochlos Waterside

Mochlos Waterside is a hidden treasure in the charming seaside village of Mochlos. Reached by a winding road that meanders down from the main Heraklion–Sitia route, the journey reveals a landscape of olive groves and timeless Mediterranean beauty. Unspoilt and authentic, Mochlos rewards those who venture here with a taste of Greece as it once was. The village’s quiet allure lies not in its small beach but in its character – the warm hospitality, the delicious food, and the gently bohemian atmosphere that make it so distinctive. Set just across the little square from the church, the studio cottage occupies a privileged position above the rocky shoreline, with enchanting sea views from its private terrace and all the comforts needed for a peaceful, romantic stay. Across the water, a small island with ancient Minoan ruins offers a fascinating destination for swimmers, while the surrounding coastline invites exploration of eastern Crete’s least-visited and most authentic corners. Yet for many, the charm of Mochlos itself is irresistible – from morning coffee on the terrace to leisurely lunches and dinners at the waterfront tavernas, where locals and visitors gather in easy companionship. With its prime position at the heart of this enchanting enclave, Mochlos Waterside is the perfect choice for couples seeking a genuine, slow-paced Cretan escape. License: 1177164
