The apartment is having two different terraces both with excellent view to Messara plain. It is also an ideal place if you want to relax. We also offer two parking slots exactly near the house. The nearest airport is the "Nikos Kazantzakis Heraklio Airport", located 58km from Kouses village. You can easily reach Matala beach (10 km away), Komos beach (9 km away) or even Agiofarago Gorge (15km away) and Kali limenes beach (15km away). Some more interesting places to visit in Mesara is the Festos Minoan archaeological site (4km away), the Museum of Cretan Ethnology (6km away), the Archaeological Museum of Mesara(11 km away). Please keep in mind that there are no mini markets in Kouses village, the nearest one is about 1,5 km. My name is Manos and I come from Crete, Kouses. I live in Heraklion city, about 58 km from Kouses Village. I love traveling and I consider my self a traveler, thus I would be really happy if I could help fellow travelers get comfortable and live a better experience in Crete. Except of meeting new people and cultures, I like spending my spare time in music and sports. Our village is having a small traditional cafe/tavern and a real nice place called "Botano", which you have to visit if you like mountain herbs and gourmet spices. 5 km away from Kouses you can also find the Minoan palaca of Festos. Lot of people, also, enjoy walking and hiking around Kouses village. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen -

During the Roman rule of Crete, the caves housed tombs. In the 1960s, the by-then empty caves hosted hippies who used them to camp out in.
