Description
The Garyfalliá house was built of natural stone in the 1870s and served as a residential and farm building for several generations. Now it has been given a new purpose. We have converted it into a spacious and cosy holiday home with large, bright rooms made of traditional and modern building materials that keep the summer heat outside. We have been able to preserve many details from the everyday life of the builders or they fulfil more contemporary functions.
With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, a lounge and a huge garden with a large pool and numerous cosy spots, the house offers space for 4 to 6 people. The luxurious furnishings leave nothing to be desired.
The Garyfalliá house is equipped as follows:
Kitchen with 16.5m²
Fully equipped fitted kitchen // Ceramic hob // Oven // Dishwasher // Large fridge // Coffee/espresso machine // Kettle // Toaster // Juicer // Basic equipment such as vinegar/oil, pepper, salt and spices ....
Bedroom upstairs with 15.6 m²

Location and surroundings of object
Listaros
Our tranquil village has 20 inhabitants and is located just 8 kilometres from the beach. Fortunately, you won't find any hotels or tourist attractions in Listaros, but we do offer typical Greek village life with plenty of peace and relaxation. The more well-known towns of Matala, Pitsidia, Faistos and Agia Galini are close by and offer a good contrast with nice pubs, bars and restaurants to enjoy the nightlife.
The neighbouring village of Sivas offers tavernas, Greek coffee houses and several mini markets. Listaros offers a beautiful view of the Mesara plain, the main mountain range of Crete with the imposing Psiloritis massif as well as the sea and two small uninhabited islets.
A hire car is necessary for your holiday in Listaros. We can recommend car hire companies in our region on request.
The south coast of Crete
There are many secluded and very remote beaches in the south of Crete, most of which can only be reached by car, but which promise undisturbed bathing pleasure.
Unlike the northern coast of Crete, which is fully developed for tourism, in the south you can often still experience the original Crete with its friendly people and small villages away from mass tourism and large hotels. You will find plenty of peace and relaxation on Crete's south coast.
There is a huge range of activities for guests with sporting ambitions: Fishing, swimming, mountaineering, mountain biking, horse riding, surfing, hiking, yoga, diving and much more.
If you are interested in archaeology, you will find Gortys, Faistos, Agia Triada and some small unknown excavations in the region.
We will be happy to give you tips and information for hikes, beaches, excursions, etc.

Toller Urlaub im Haus Garyfalliá
We spent our family vacation (2 adults and 2 children - 15 and 11 years) at the Garyfalliá house. It was pure relaxation. The pictures on the internet do not promise too much. We rent a house every year and believe to have very good comparison options. About Garyfalliá, it can be said: this house is perfectly designed and furnished. It offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The rooms are all spacious, bathrooms, kitchen, and living room offer plenty of space. But more important and varied are the many outdoor seating options. All are shaded, or you can sit in the sun by the perfectly maintained pool. It was fun to just jump in and relax at any time of day or night. Susanne and Gerhard are great hosts and help wherever they can. Whether it's getting a cheap rental car, having a taxi from the airport when the flight arrives in the middle of the night instead of in the evening.

Honest review of the "Garyfallia" house
The holiday house "Garyfallia" is located in the village of Listaros, about 1 ¼ hours away from Heraklion. Listaros is a very small village, somewhat off the beaten path, which offers the advantage of being truly undisturbed, not having noisy hotel guests as neighbors, and thus allowing the opportunity to find peace and quiet. At the same time, coastal towns like Matala or Komos Beach are easily reachable in a 10-minute drive, allowing you to enjoy and experience the fantastic sea along the coast of Crete. The holiday home is furnished very tastefully and with love. Everything needed for daily life - from beach and bath towels, hairdryer, hot water bottle, TVs to a fully equipped kitchen - is available. In the terraced and also lovingly landscaped garden area, there is a great pool (approx. 3.5m x 8m). Water toys are also available! Plenty of seating options provide both shade and sunny spots and a beautiful view of the sea. The very nice hosts Susanne and Gerhard live across and are happy to provide excursion tips. We found visiting Phaistos particularly worthwhile (go early before all the tour buses arrive)! ), Matala (explore the caves, climb up for a view, and then eat at the last restaurant on the promenade – go all the way to the back), Rethymno (visit the fortress, then explore the old town and grab a bite to eat on the way there to avoid the crowds of other tourists), Agio Galini (stone beach – don't forget your water shoes, but great swimming dock for easy access to the water), and of course Komos Beach (no words – go there and enjoy). We found our vacation SUPER!

Holiday with a guarantee of well-being
We had a great time in Listeros in July. Vacation away from mass tourism, just what we wanted. Even in the peak season, there are still secluded coves here (Vathi).
The holiday home Garyfalliá is a dream. Lovingly furnished and top equipped. No wishes remain unfulfilled. The pool is very well maintained. The garden is terraced with many seating and lounging areas in the sun or shade and with sea views. The car rental arrangement also went smoothly.
A big compliment to Susanne and Gerhard, you are wonderful hosts. We have found our holiday paradise and can't wait to come back.
Warm regards from the Palatinate from Charly, Heike, and Marcel.

Mr. G. Wacker
About Susanne Böhly-Wacker and Gerhard Wacker ...in 2001 we moved to Listaros with our seven things. It was supposed to be a new start, something different from what we were used to, more relaxed but exciting. By then we had spent several holidays on the island. The Messara region kept attracting us. A few conversations, new contacts, just the right property and the stunning view over the hills to the sea. That was all we needed. We lived in the house ourselves all year round from the moment we arrived on Crete. Now it has been thoroughly renovated and modernised by us with a lot of love and has been available for rent since June 2016. What makes this accommodation unique. .... thousand little things that make Listaros and Haus Garyfalliá special for us. We'll just name a few for now The sea view, the space and freedom, the openness of the people, the lightness, the salt in the air, the wonderfully simple but delicious cuisine
