This property belongs to Irini and Giorgos. It is situated on top of the old traditional Cafe Dimorkitos. The cafe is now closed. It belonged to Irini s father. This property was created in order to honour the old Dimokritos.

Pitsidia is situated a short drive north east of Matala and Kommos (or Komos) beach, in the south of the Iraklion district, about 1 hour drive from the Heraklion airport.
It's not much more than the road that leads the people to these two other places and a few side streets.
On the main road that leads through the village and around the central square you will find plenty of bougainvillea flowers covered tavernas where you can have a bite to eat, and there are a couple of supermarkets, a hairdresser, a butcher and a bakery.
It's got a charm of it's own and it looks definitely better than some of the ugly villages you can see along the new national road. As you drive through the village on the main road you miss out on the actual old part of the village.
There are quite a few accommodations in the village of Pitsidia and is an option for people who want to visit the nearby beaches (Matala and Kommos) but want to avoid the crowds.
Matala beach lies at a distance of about four kilometers and Kommos beach is about one an a half kilometer away.
You can walk from Pitsidia to this last beach in about 30 minutes. Yet another beach, the beach of Kalamaki lies at a distance of about 5 km.
