the wonderful area:
In the neighbouring village (ca. 500 m distance) there is a restaurant and 2 mini markets where you can get your food basics. Almost daily mobile traders drive through the village and offer fruit, vegetables, bread or fish. In the garden you find trees of oranges, lemons and other fruits, and sometimes the neighbours come with fresh harvested vegetables. In winter the whole area is green, everything starts to grow and bloom. If you want to pick your own oranges then Kato Dris is the right place for you. Under the old olive trees there will be a carpet of clover with yellow blossoms. Behind the houses the mountains are about 800 m high and invite for walks.
Also in winter you will have sunny days you can spend at the beach and enjoy the evening in front of a cosy fire in the wood stove.
sights:
The beach of Sitia is about 9 km away. The palm beach of Vai, the monastary of Toplou, the archeological sites in Kato Zakros and the lonely beaches of the east and south coast are less then 1 h by car.
