The Neighborhood:
You can find some basic stuff (food/vegetables ect.) on the small mini market in the center of the village.
We recommend on getting your supplies from a supermarket near Heraklion, on your way to Ai-Giannis or in Vagionia which is located about 45 minutes from the village
There is also a small tavern running at the moment where you can have some drinks/coffee/small plates-meze/daily plates
The area is accessible only by car. (There is no public transport) and the distance from Heraklion to the property is about 70 km.
You will first go through 63 km (about 1 hour) of road made of asphalt. You will reach the Asterousia sierra in about 53km. You will arrive to Loukia village which is on the foot of the mountain.
You will then drive for about 8 km to Kapetaniana village. The road network is in good condition (the road is also made of asphalt) . There are plenty of curves climbing up the mountain but there are plenty of metal protective barriers through out the route. The average driving speed is about 30-40 km/h.
You will come across Kapetaniana village right on top of the mountain. That is where the dirt road starts. The next 3 km are fairly demanding. You will be driving on the top of the sierra. The road is quite bumpy, wide enough and there are plenty of open-easy turns. We would strongly recommend on renting an 4X4 or an SUV .
Getting Around:
The last 4 km (starting from the last mountain top to the village) are going to be the most demanding yet rewarding at the same time.
