I'm Austrian living in Tavronitis, love nature, music, good books, sunsets, the sea, travelling, socializing and more. I came to Crete as a student in the early 70s, exploring the west and southwest of the island with friends by motorbike. When you are young everything is important and, there are lots of things to do...I did. Job, family,children, travelling the world. But I never lost my love for Crete for a minute. And nine years ago I ended up in this convenient corner of Crete, not only for holidays, but to stay and haven't regretted it for a minute.

    Almost the same story as me. Came to Crete in 1976 and spent two years living on the beach in Paleohora. Wonderful times. Been coming back to Crete for the last 45 years every year and now have a small house in the lovely peaceful village of Spili.
