The Village of Ano Archanes in Eastern Crete stands as a fine example that blends a rich historical past with a vibrant contemporary community. The layers of history are evident in the present-day layout of the settlement, with remnants of the Minoan era incorporated into many buildings, their foundations often resting upon ancient or subsequent structures.

The studio is ideally located at the center of the Ano Archanes Village with restaurants & cafeterias being a stone throw away and a supermarket within a 2 minute walk.
