Save to favouritesPrintMailThe White HousesStepping inside these ex-fishermen’s cottages is like entering a Tardis. Behind their compact whitewashed façades lie interiors of astonishing space and style, where slick Scandinavian fittings sit alongside traditional Cretan furnishings: marble floors, beamed ceilings, gorgeous rugs, vibrant artwork, wooden sofas with hand-embroidered cushions. One has a private chapel converted into a sitting room, another an open-plan shower in the bedroom behind a curvy tiled wall. Excellent [i!http://www.i-escape.com/hotel.php?section=eating&hotel_key=GR025!kitchens] combine modern appliances (dishwasher, oven) with pretty antiques (bread trays, lanterns, clay vases) chosen by the Norwegian owner. The [r:GR025:family cottages] are the stars, each arranged over two floors with sunny terraces overlooking the bobbing boats and yellow nets of Makriyialos’ fishing harbour. Two [r:GR025:smaller apartments], one on each floor of a newer building, make excellent options for a couple.
