Property On Crete

Armeni

The vibrant farming village of Armeni is set 500ft above sea level on the Ziros plateau in central eastern Crete. Apple, pear and cherry trees grow alongside oranges, lemons and prickly pear cactus – this is the bread basket of the area, as much the fresh fruit and vegetables as well as the grapes for wine and raki and the olives for oil are grown in this fertile spot between the high hills. The clean fresh air makes this a wonderful haven for people with respiratory problems. The climate is moderate, with less intense heat during the summer.
