Terra Minoika Villas, a stone creation, a hymn to the traditional Greek architecture, built totally by native stone, closely tied to the environment, a surprise, even to the experts, due not only to its unique construction but also due to the architectural inspirations of its creators as well. They dominate the entrance to the village of Kato Zakros, at an altitude of 40 m. above the sea surface and 300m away from the seaside, with a panoramic, unhindered view to the bay and to all the sights of the area. "No one could ever imagine that almost 3,000 square meters (sq.m.) of native, granite hardferrous-stone would be responsible for an environment so delicate to the senses!"
