Crete: Piskopiano & Koutouloufari Walkabout
[Music] This video is sponsored by Hello Sunshine at CM Harbor. In the last episode, we explored the village of Old Sonicus as a walk through the village and soared by day and night. In this episode, we’re going to be taking a look at the neighboring villages of Piscopiano and Culafari. Grab yourself a beer or a wine and relax as we show you what these two villages have to offer. [Music] [Music] Just on the way to Pisco Piano, you The lovely views across towards Honestus. Actually see the island of Dia as well in the background. That’s D I A not deer. I mean the views are spectacular from up here on the hill. You see right out into the sea all the way along the coastline towards Malia. And then there’s also all these lovely kind of apartments. There’s a few villas along the road from Honosis to Pisco Piano as well. So we’re nearly there. Uh it didn’t take too long. I think yeah about 15 minutes. I’ve taken a bit of drone footage and stuff. So I’ve stopped. Let’s get into the village of Pisco Piano. [Music] So, we’re now right on the edge of Pisco Piano, but we’re just seeing this place we thought we’d stop. It’s called Hotel Pir. Looks really nice, really modern, really new. And we just saw the pool at the back and we thought we’ll have a quick look inside cuz yeah, it looks really, really nice. Really quiet. I didn’t think was open, but it is open. So, let’s have a look at the pool here, cuz it looks really nice. So, it looks like we have two pools. This is just a normal pool, and then there’s a pool over here, and that is a heated pool, which I don’t think you’ll need in the summer. Looks nice, doesn’t it? If anybody is staying at the hotel per there, lovely. You’re quite lucky if you’re staying there cuz it looks really nice. We’re just coming into Pisco Piano now. So, let’s have a look around the main street here. Right. So, as you come in, that’s the hotel period just up there where we’ve been. You’ve got the spa and this is the street. So, this is the very top here. And this is Socrates, which apparently is really good for guerr. So we might have to pop in for a little snack. Jackaline snack jacking and pop. [Music] Okay, so this is Socrates in Pisco Piano. We come here cuz we have had some people recommend this place for the gears. So, we’re just going to get to Peter Chicken Guy Ross and we’ve got two large beers and just a coffee share between us. So, let’s see what the food is like here in Socrates and what the beer is like. was €450 for a large draft beer. That’s not too bad. The food does look pretty good. Somebody’s got a full plate of gear then. It looks really nice. Let’s see what the food’s like. [Music] So, we have this gear. It’s huge. I didn’t expect it to be as quite as big. It was only €450 for this as well. That’s I’ve already tasted a bit of chicken. That’s a lot. Just looks small. That is lovely. Really, really nice. Kill the bread’s dead soft and fluffy. Chicken’s marinated. Gorgeous. Chips are lovely. Satiki is really nice as well. Oh, this I can’t believe how big it is. Get in my belly. Johnny said, the girros is absolutely Yeah, it’s good size. It looks lovely. It’s big chunks of chicken as well. It’s not just like little shavings of it. It’s really big chunks. So, plenty of chips in there. Everything’s cooked from fresh as well, which is actually taken quite a while to come out, but they’ve been cooking it fresh there. But yeah, the the meat is beautiful. It’s really soft. The way it’s marinated is beautiful. Haven’t even tried the chip yet, but the zatziki is lovely on there. And even the salad that’s in the bottom. You got onions. There’s a bit of lettuce. There’s tomato in there. Just compliments it beautifully. But yeah, really good. So, that was Socrates here in Pisco Piano. And I’m going to go as far to say cuz that was probably the best kirus I think I’ve ever had. It was lush, wasn’t it? It was beautiful. I’m absolutely stuffed. So, €480 for that is an absolute steal. It was absolutely beautiful. And I’m not just exaggerating. It was that good. It was It was amazing. Really, really good. And all the other food in there like the burgers and that that’s come out. People getting burgers. Yeah. All the food that’s come out was beautiful. Look really nice. So, some little kid got a burger. It was bigger than him, wasn’t it? So, we paid €2080, but that was two large beers, a Coke, and the gears. Two gears, which like I say, were absolutely stuffed. I didn’t think it was going to be half as big as that. No. And it was just honestly the chicken, the chunks of chicken were beautiful. The chips were nice. The salad was nice. The zadziki was just everything about it. The bitter bread was lovely that it was served in was excellent. So I definitely highly recommend that place. Oh god. Yeah, we’ll be coming here before we leave. Definitely. Yeah, definitely. So there’s a one for you as a recommendation. It’s toxins approved. Okay, so this is now the start of the main part of the village. So this is Socrates where we’ve just eaten. So you got Nostto. This is a late bar. There’s not many late bars here in Piscatiano, but that’s one. And then directly across the street, you’ve got antidote. I need to show the sports. Looks like a decent selection of beers in there as well. You got a spa supermarket and my bar. We have actually tried this one. This was quite a nice bar inside and nosttos war in there the other night. It’s um it’s like a little bit of a dive bar, would you say, Nostto? But it was all right. It was all good fun. So yeah, you’ve got your spa and then there’s excursions and there’s the tuk tuk shop. Hello. So I think we’re going to try that when we’re here. They do like four different routes. We’ve got a leaf. We can show you the uh the different routes that they do. And it’s not the cheapest, but apparently it’s meant to be excellent. And up the street here, you have the Museum of Rural Life. So, that’s going to be our next stop. And I believe there’s a church up here as well. So, let’s go and have a look up here. So, just up this back street is where the church and museum is. There’s a place here called Costas. One raggy is never enough. Apparently, one rack is more than enough for me cuz I didn’t like it. And then you’ll see this everywhere. Come as a stranger, leave as a friend. Seen that in a lot of places in Greece. And it’s probably true actually, but people are so friendly. So here next to Costas is the church. In the heart of Pisco Piano stands the church of the presentation of Mary. A beautiful whitewash chapel dating back to the 19th century. Built in traditional style, it has been a place of faith and gathering for generations, celebrating the day the Virgin Mary was presented at the temple, a cherished moment in the village’s history. [Music] So just past the church up a little bit of a steep hill is the museum of rural life. So there is a€ 5 entry fee. Hello there. You okay? To get in here and I think it’s all on different levels. I think there’s two or three levels and it just kind of highlights all the different ways they used to like make wine. There’s an olive press. There’s a rocky still. I think the reception’s through there. You just pay your €5 and then you can go in. [Music] So, in with the cost of the ticket, you get a little information leaflet, and there’s also a map as well, so you get to see what’s on the different levels. You can also get an audio guide, which is €350 extra. We’ve just had to pay cash. They weren’t taking card. I think that card machine was broken, but just make sure if you want to come and visit this museum that you will need cash. It’s best to bring it just in case. So, let’s have a look around here. The Museum of Rural Life is tucked away in the village of Piscopiano and offers a window into Cit’s past. Housed in a restored traditional building, it showcases tools, household items, and artifacts that were once used by local farmers and craftsmen. Each room tells a story of self-sufficiency, hard work, and the rhythms of rural life before modern conveniences. From handwoven textiles to olive presses, the museum preserves not just objects, but the traditions and skills that shaped generations. A visit here is like stepping back in time. Experience the authentic heartbeat of old cit. You’ve left your shoes, Jaclyn. Look a bit hot. Reording shoes. That is the Museum of Rural Life. Yeah, it’s so quiet inside, isn’t it? There’s nobody around apart from the cleaner. It’s mainly kind of how they used to weave cotton in there, isn’t it? Obviously, there’s like the old olive press and everything that you see, but you pretty much see all the kind of Greek Yeah. museums and that now, don’t you? That was all right. It’s dead small, isn’t it? It’s not very big. Yeah. We’ve only been in there about 15 10 15 minutes. Doesn’t take long to get around cuz like I say, most of the stuff’s all like weaving and cotton and that, wasn’t it? different little bit of stuff and then that’s about it really. Are you going to give that an eight? Right, let’s get back down to the main street in Pisco Piano and let’s have a look and see what else there is on offer. Yeah, let’s see what we can then find on my travels. Back on the main street now. This is David Vagara just here or David Viagra as I like to call it. And you’ve got a viva. That’s where Billy the dog is in a viva. Jackie’s new holiday romance. By that’s what you said the other night right so this place has been recommended to us off of quite a few people actually vagara is meant to be quite nice so that is a viva and then you’ve got aparida which is a little taberna that’s right next door and then just down from there we have realm and gvi and again is somewhere that’s been highly recommended to us and it’s literally across the road from where we’re staying. So we are staying just past Realm on the left at the Bisco Piano Village and you got Creek and Stories there as well which I think it’s just a little shop. So one thing about these little places here so you got you got Aviva and Poserita is they’re all doing large Greek beers for €350. So that’s not a bad price. So we’ve gone to Wiva. We’ve drank we’ve had a drink in there cuz it was cheap. So worth a look. Like I say, if you want a cheap beer in a nice cold one, try one of those places. So, this is where we’re staying, Pisco Piano Village. We’ve got the Harmony Shop, and that’s GSY there. So, like I say, everything is in pretty close proximity. So, directly across the street from Pisco Piano, you’ve got a supermarket, but I don’t think they really sell much in there, do they? No, it’s a bit random. Yeah, it’s just more like clothes and stuff, I think. do do wine more I think red wine but um vanderit wines tastes like cherry it’s more like a cherry ra yes very random but the guy who wants it’s quite can just yeah a bit cracked with him so he seems okay right we are approaching the end of Pisco Piano so the end of the road is just up here there’s a few little places in between and then obviously you’ll hit Culafari so let’s have a look and see what is down here. So here on the right just down from Piscapiano village is the antilotas. So it looks like more of like a mezier place I think in there but looks quite like a nice setting in there. So they’ve got the what they offer at the front there. There’s a a menu and a mezz for two. So that looks okay in there. And then this is the end of Pisco Piano. Just a bit further down is Antami. So again, got the menus out the front. Nice looking place. And there’s a lovely kind of seating area right at the back here. Just the back overlooking the sea. Probably need to maybe book tables for there. We walked past here the other night and it was absolutely chocker at the back there. So there was there was loads of tables at the front, but obviously most people want to sit out the back and take in the scenery. So probably advisable to book a table if you want to sit out and get the sea views there. So the next place down is the Taivera Oliver. Haven’t uh we haven’t been in there. We haven’t even checked the menu out there, have we? No. And you’ve got Asteras Village right next door to that. And across from there is another spa. So, where we are, we’re kind of right in between the two different spa shops. I think about 3 minutes walk. So, as you walk, there’s like a little bit of a gap from the spa. You get the beautiful views here over the the bay down towards Honest. You can see the port down here, which looks lovely. And of course, on a lovely bright sunny day like today, absolutely beautiful. So, the next restaurant is Megan. I think the guy in here, he’s been trying to get in the last couple of nights, hasn’t he? Yeah. Every time you go past. Oh, come in. Come in. Oh, and he’s always like trying to get you to look at the menu and but I think did he say they’ve got a new a new chef in there? Uh, yeah. I think it’s just like newly opened. Yeah. Do a gluten-free beer there as well. I mean, it looks nice enough. It’s nice enough. Next up is Cena family, which I think is meant to be pretty good as well. Again, they’ve all got these lovely terraces at the front. Some of them have got places out the back, but I think a lot of them here as I mean, you can see through here there’s little seats at the back, but again, it’s probably advisable to put those [Music] And then right next to Cena is Patrico. We have actually eaten in here, but we’ll have a full review of that place coming up. [Music] Yeah. So, we ate in here our first night. Uh but we’ll do we’ve got a full review of that to come. So stay tuned for those. But the stops in there and again the setting’s lovely. I think there’s another seating area at the back. It’s really really nice. And then next door to Patrick go you’ve got a rental place so you can get your quad bikes. I think you can probably get cars. Yeah, get cars there. There’s a little QR code to scan there. And then you can get your mopeds and scooters and all that kind of stuff. So that is the end of Pisco Piano. We are now heading into Kulafari. So, we’re just at the famous well now, which is like the little roundabout, and we’ll show you down the main part here of Culafari.

[Music] [Music] So, just as you come in, there’s nice place. Pilots. Pilots villas. Looks pretty nice as well. pretty new. The first place you’ll hit when you come into Culafari is Pegasus and then the street just kind of opens up for all the bars and restaurants. So, there’s quite a few. Uh we’ve got Largo here again. Lovely lovely sitting area. They make a really nice job of the restaurants and the gardens and the just they’re lovely. Like the properties are really nice. So, all tried to make them like traditionally Greek and keep it within the theme of that village theme and it works to be fair. It’s really nice. So, here’s another place that’s been recommended. This atrium is a little tattoo place if Jackie wants to get my name tattooed on her streak. But this atrium we wal past last night and that looked lovely at night as well. That one was open after 12:00, wasn’t it? It was still open when we went past 12. That was Yeah, a lot of the places here do seem to close quite early. Uh we were down here last night and we came back. It’s probably just after 12 kind of where the main part of Kulafari is the end of this road. Like nearly everywhere was closed down or closing up. So the next place is Tivera Messes which is Alex and Christine apparently fellow Ajordis. So we might have to pay a visit into there. Just a note that this place is closed on a Sunday as well. We’ve seen a few places down here that are closed on a Sunday. Uh this little gift shop and then you have Tivera Esperos. Got roast chicken on today as a special. Just a little place. But they’ve got a nice place up on the roof here as well. It’s nice. And then across the street from here, we’ve got Ariadne, which has been recommended for pizzas. So we got the oldest olive tree in town, which is thousand years old. So it’s even older than that one we seen in Karma. Karma 600. Yeah. That was the oldest on the island. It’s an old tree. Yeah. Old olive tree. Just the top here. The guy was making the pizzas yesterday. You can see them kind of cooking out in the open air there. The little supermarket here as well. You can get your fridge magnets, key rings, little bits of jewelry. So, here is Beijing to Baralley, but it looks like it’s either closed or moved because there is a sign in the window there saying find us at Lago Europa 69. So, I don’t remember. If anybody knows and can confirm that, let us know in the comments. So, here we’ve got another place doing all Greek crafty stuff. Across from here, you’ve got the Astra Village and Cafe Astra Bar. So it looks like there’s a kind of little biscety shop just here. And then you’ve got Sir Giani’s Tavern. Got Rahhati’s Cafe. A nice place to sit on the front and people watch. And then next door to that you’ve got Rusty Tavern as well, which again looks like a lovely place to just sit and right at the front. Hello. And right next door to Sergiani’s, you have the Retro Row Bar and Diner. That one was closed last night. And you have Emanuel’s here. So they’ve got nice boards out the front. Daily specials. It looks like there’s plenty on there. And then the road kind of splits here at the top. So last night we ended up going down where it says no entry. There’s a little place down there called Steps 33. So it’s worth looking. You have Curfari Village place. here for cocktails. Nice little place here for ice cream at the bottom as well. Looks lovely. Hello. Up here you have Kasan Nostra which was open a little bit later last night. And they have Greek cider in there. Might have to give that place a try. Then up here we have Fabria which is Yanni’s place. And looks like they do crepes and things in here. And then you’ve got this beautiful little street here. Walked down here last night. It was really quiet. Really nice fabric. This is part of the restaurant. That looks quite nice inside. A quick look at the menu. Must be Jordy ribeye. Some nice looking sweets here in this lovely little street. Ahatis I think it’s called. Ahatis sweets. One of the things that’s lovely about this place and what gives it its charm is I love all the little rooftop places. So nearly every single place has got a roof garden or a roof bar. Obviously cuz I haven’t got the space on the streets, but the way it’s just all traditionally Greek, it’s beautiful. I mean the streets are so nice. The people are really friendly. It’s been like a really really welcoming place so far. It’s been great. Yeah, we’ve got a little paint place. Got some little uh sketches and stuff here. Bert and Ernie from Pulp Fiction, Marilyn Monroe. So, it looks like a like nice little local business. So, right across the street from the paint place is the Alchemist. That one’s been recommended as well. So many recommendations actually. And we’ll probably need longer than eight nights to uh sample them all. Here’s Galini again. Lovely little place inside. just all starting to open up, I think, now. So, this looks like it’s still part of Galinis, but it’s got a roof garden. It’s like a separate building, but obviously to cater for everybody, they’ve got uh little place there on the roof. And then around the corner, you have another Tivera Pathari. Look at all these lovely kind of gardens and stuff. Got the stone arch oneway. It’s a oneway lounge. This has got a nice roof terrace on the top as well. Roof garden. So that one’s got the highest terrace in the oldest in the village. Pasari apparently is the oldest place in the village with the highest terrace. This looks quite nice as well. It’s all We were down this way last night and it was lovely all lit up. So again, you’ve got some shops. All this capidionis here lovely place to sit also and some shops here. Another little place. Sneak off the fisherman. It’s another place that’s been recommended. So again, there’s a couple of little shops here. There’s the trap. Good cocktails in there. Quite strong. Not the cheapest, but it was nice. Again, got a review coming on that place. And you have Mythos here. So this place I think this was closed last night, wasn’t it? Methos. No. Um, it was when we came past after being in Yeah, so let’s have a quick look at the menu here. There’s a little place on the corner where you can get a sulaki. And then you have Morel’s. Yeah, they were good white sangria here. Apparently it’s another place worth trying. Nice place to sit. Half note cafe bar as well. Looks quite nice in there. And then you have Woodstone just on the road back down to the Sonicus. The bar owner in here is quite mental. I think I called him a a Greek Dave Gro last night. Quite a character. But yeah, we we actually ate in Woodstone last night and spent a little bit of time there. But again, we’ve got a review coming for that. What I went to, this is my third day now. This is all first chance I’ve had to kind of get out and about. But that was lovely last night. But again, we’ll got a full review coming. So yeah, I’ve got a a roof garden down here as well as Argentico. It looked all right there actually last night. I don’t think there was anybody in, but it looked all right when we when we’re looking across. So that’s kind of where all the bars and restaurants are is like one. It’s all kind of clustered together. So, you’ll not go short of choices. I mean, everything just looks great. The food looks great. The properties are lovely. Yeah, you’re spoiled for choice really. It’s quite a small place and it’s quite low, but it’s it’s nice. Lovely at night time. So, it looks like we have I haven’t been down this way before. Hello. So, we have what’s this called? Olive. Olive green. Looks lovely. Got a a pool in there. Let’s have a quick look. got a bakery and everything. It’s quite nice. And then nice long pool. Looks lovely. Just down from that lovely little olive green, there’s a supermarket. And this place is meant to be excellent. And we had a lot of recommendations for this place. So, I think we will give this a try. So, this is Lacasti. What about Lasti? Even me auntie recommended this place. She was here years ago and she said this place was beautiful. I think we’ll be doing a review on this place at some stage across the holiday. [Applause] [Music] So directly across from the cast you have Sundance Apartments and Esperides. Just down the street is the new sports cafe. These apartments look quite nice as well. Everything looks quite new. There’s a few places getting remodernized, I think, especially our places, but I haven’t really heard any any noise just before the new sports cafe. We got another bakery here, supermarket, another place to rent cars, and this is the new sports cafe. So, looks like this place next door. I’m not sure what this is, but they’ve got pool tables, football tables, little basketball thing here. And this is the new sports bar, which has a roof garden, cocktails, do burgers and stuff, looks quite good. And they even do pizza takeaway. [Music] So, a bit of chaos in the village there. Somebody holding the traffic up. There’s a van. So, I don’t think there’s that much more now. We do have Esperides Resort entrance here. Not sure if these apartments behind are part of that. So, the road kind of forks off. So, that’ll be on the way downus. Yet another rental place. Looks like a few tours and stuff you can do there. So, here is Villa Dictina. And that was actually one of the options we had to choose from when we came. was that one on Piscet Piano Village. Uh but our sponsor Richard Hello Sunshine offered us the chance to stay at Pisciano Village. Um I think he’s possibly stopping there this year. So he wanted to see what it was like cuz there has been some refurbishment going on, but I’m not sure how many rooms have been done yet, so I cannot comment on that. But yeah, that one looks really nice. Again, all the accommodation’s quite traditional, so they’re keeping in that Greek theme, Greek village theme. And then we have the Sunset Supermarket and Bakery. And I think up here is Marne Village. Got the Sunrise Apartments. Anybody staying there? Not too far from places. Here is Manne Village. So, this will probably be the last place we’re going to go in. Stop. Look, we again look modern. Lovely pool area. I know just from all the Culafari forums a lot of people have actually mentioned that I stay in there. So that looks really nice there doesn’t it? It does. Yeah. Yeah. Think it’s a bit pricey possibly. Yes. With all that walking in this heat today. Oh no. I’m exhausted. Shall we go for a drink? Yes. I think I’m going to try Greek cider. Jacqueline. I don’t know what I’m going to try. I have to think about it. Well, let’s go and find somewhere to find a bar. Let’s go. Heat. Heat. [Music] Okay, so that’s our little walk through the Three villages here from old Hosanus through Pisco Piano and into Culafari. So I think we deserve a a drink after that. Mhm. It’s taken a full day pretty much to do that. I didn’t know it would take quite as long. Well, I’ve stopped a few places. So we stopped for like a couple of drinks and we’ve had that food which was really good. So we are just in half which is pretty much at the end of Culafar again in that kind of main bulk like on the corner where everything is quite near that wood stone. So Jackie is getting a nice cocktail. Jungle juice. Jungle juice. Although you’ve had it modified. Modified it. You never like tequila. No. But it sounded really nice. I was like, “Oh, smell Jackie’s juice.” Smell. Yeah. Jackie’s And I have gone for a milo cleft, which Jack was laughing. I could have said I didn’t pronounce it right. But I did. Cheers. Cheers. So, despite Jackie messing up the whole cocktail menu with her modified drink, the cocktail menu is quite extensive, isn’t it? I was scanning it for ages. Obviously, you’ve probably seen it there before in the video, but there’s absolutely stacks of cocktails, isn’t it? That was a good choice. The cocktails aren’t the cheapest, but you know, that seems to be the precedent across the whole place really. How much was that? Was yours 13 €1350? So, it’s not cheap at all. And even the side, that’s just the 330 mil. That was €6.50. So, not cheap, but it’s nice enough. Went in on holiday. Yeah, it’s nice to just sit. I mean, we’re just kind of overlooking the bay again here. It’s lovely in the evening sunshine or late afternoon sunshine. But yeah, this looks like quite a nice place. It was quite popular when we walked past last night. There was quite a few people sat here and it’ll again probably lovely at night time when it’s little. I think they have music on here sometimes as well. Yeah, it is classed as like a music bar, the half note. So, think of having the live music on. How are you going to rate that cocktail out of five? 4.8. Good. Nice one. Nice one. I’m liking it. Yeah. And what are you going to rate half note? Well, I mean, it’s not in full flow, but it’s it’s again, it’s lovely little grounds and everything, isn’t it? It seems all right. Obviously, like I said, we was here last night. We didn’t come in, but we was here last night. 4 and a half. We’ll get these drinks finished off. We’ll show you the price overall and then we’ll finish off back at the Pisco Piano Village pool. Okay. So, we’re just heading back to the Pisco Piano Village. And there’s a cut down from where Marel’s is and the Suvaki place. So if you come down the street where this white car is passing now, if you head down that way is steps 33. There’s a couple of restaurants down here as well that also been recommended to us. So we’ll just show you these to walk down. Nice big dog there. Be hot in this weather with that coat. Here we have Lenny or Linis. And apparently this place is um famous because there’s a finalist from the Greek master chef’s the chef in here. And this has had really good reviews as well. Again, this one’s closed on a Sunday, but you go inside. Looks really nice. And next to that you have an o. So that’s a restaurant cocktail bar as well. Again, just looks lovely inside. Nice and airy and light. Nice little terrace at the back. And actually, the food smells pretty good as well as I’m walking past. [Music] And just past Anos is Billy’s. This looks quite a nice property as well. Walked past here last night. There’s a little gift shop here and it’s obviously the entrance to Billy’s and then you are back at Casa Nostra. Right, I think that’s probably just about covered everything with K. If we’ve missed anywhere, I do apologize, but it’s taken a full day just to do what we’ve done. So, we’re going to head back to the pool and we’ll give you our overall first impressions of the three villages. [Music] [Music] [Applause] So that’s the end of this particular video. So we’ve covered Pisciano and Culafari. So it’s been a canny little day. Been tiring cuz it’s been hot. It’s very hot today. Yeah. Yeah. So, we’ve just kind of taken our time, haven’t we? There’s like no shelter from like this one from a couple of trees now again. What have you made of the villages? And which one’s your favorite? Actually, the three. The villages are really nice. Very pretty. It’s exactly what I was expecting it to be when I’ve been looking. As for my favorite, I’m not sure. I quite like the oldest. Yeah, it’s nice, isn’t it? It seems nice and chilled, relaxed. All pretty much all then probably Culafari just cuz you’ve got a bit more like restaurants and that and spread out and then Pisco Piano probably probably got more bars open later there again they’re all really really nice like there’s not really much between them to be fair so it’s quite hard to pick a favorite but I’ve enjoyed a little walk around the day it’s nice nice to just get a feel for the area as well isn’t it? Yeah, it’s actually like not actually a bad walk. Yeah, it’s quite nice. It’s not like too hilly or anything like that. So, if you do have walking difficulties, I mean, Sonicus is a little bit further, you know, if you do struggle to walk, then maybe it’s not so much going there. But in terms of Pisciano and Katula that joined on Yeah. And they’re all flat apart from there’s a bit in Kula where you go up a little bit. But again, it’s not massive. It’s only like literally like we’ve been for that gear today which was excellent. Uh we stopped like a place in each place really. Um so obviously one went a half note as well which we finished off in Sofas in World Sonicus to start. Yeah. Started there. So overall what you going to rate the three villages just as a whole? As a whole five. I love it. Lovely. Yeah. As a combination. They’re all got a little bit different. I was going to say it’s somewhere like a little bit different. It’s not like a beach resort but the beach is within distance if you want it. But it’s like Yeah. It’s like completely different sort of place, isn’t it? No, I I really like it. Yeah, it’s really nice. So, that’s it. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little video. Hope it’s been useful for you. Uh, anybody that’s coming for the first time or anybody who’s been here many a times. Like I say, we have tried to cover as much as possible. I know there’ll be bits of like on the streets and what have you. We’re just trying to cover kind of the main sort of area cuz it has taken a while. But, I hope it’s been useful. So, if you’ve enjoyed the video, give it that thumbs up. Don’t forget to leave us your comments. Let us know if you come here and what your favorite places are.

In this video, we are focusing on the 2 villages of Piskopiano and Koutouloufari.
Continuing on from our day time walk through Old Hersonissos, we head back to Piskopiano and show what is on offer on the main road through he villages, with a multitude of bars and restaurants.
We also stop at Socrates to sample a Chicken Gyros, before heading to the Church of the Presentation of Mary and the Museum of Rural Life.
We continue our walk through Piskopiano, before heading into neighbouring village Koutouloufari. Again, we walk up the Main Street of the village to show what, bars, shops and restaurants you have to choose from during your stay.
We stop off at The Half Note bar for a drink, before heading back to the Piskopiano Village & Apartments to summarise our thoughts of the 3 villages.

Loved this episode, what a beautiful place, that gyros looked gorgeous 😃
Thank you for another great video, some absolutely stunning places 😍 Looking forward to the restaurant reviews!
Greek places are so different to Spanish places aren't they? Very rustic and relaxed. We liked Crete when we visited in 2019. We went to Agios Nikolaos. Beautiful restaurants, good homemade food, friendly locals. Loved a gyros or three after a few beers of a night. Enjoying your series on Crete. Did you go to Agios Nikolaos, or Chania?
Been going to Koutouloufari from 2001, did go elsewhere now and again this year will be our 20th visit, people are so friendly nothing is too much trouble for them.
