Why Elaiodentron eco House
A place designed with respect for nature, the landscape and people, ideal for those seeking a closer connection with the environment. The name Elaiodentron (Eleó–then–dron) comes from the classical Greek word for the olive tree, inspired by its setting within a traditional olive grove in East Crete and as a tribute to the ancient olive tree of Kavousi, located nearby.

Located in a private olive grove in Kavousi, it combines local architecture with the rhythm of life in the Cretan countryside.

A starting point for East Crete
Elaiodentron eco House is located in a central part of East Crete, allowing easy access both to the main towns of the region and to many of its most important places of interest.
Its geographical position is particularly convenient, as this point is one of the narrowest parts of Crete, allowing quick access both to the northern beaches (5–10 minutes) and to the southern coast (15–20 minutes).
Agios Nikolaos is about 21 km away, Ierapetra 15 km, and Sitia 43 km away, making the house an ideal base for exploring all of East Crete.
