Welcome to traditional agrotourist settlement Metohi Vai Village. Metohi Vai is a small traditional settlement in Eastern Crete, beside the palm forest Vai and belongs to the Monastery Toplou. For many years the sheep keepers of the monastery lived there and the rooms were specially shaped for their needs as there were also used as places to make the cheese. In collaboration with the local government, the monastery and the Organism of Development of Sitia (O.A.S) exploiting European programs we shaped the spaces of the settlement in 7 comfortable traditional apartments, each one with different arrangement. All the apartments dispose of a refrigerator, an oven microwaves, an electric cooking place, a satellite television, air-conditioning and a bathroom. The apartments 2-5-6-7 are also equipped with a fireplace. If you are interesting in discovering the secrets of Mediterranean diet and Cretan cooking, the traditional tavern of the settlement is probably the best "school" for you. At the wood stove you can daily help to the cooking of bread, pastries and enjoy unique aromas and flavours. You can have a pleasant time at the company of the settlement's gardener, and learn about organic farming and gardening, cut fruits and vegetables, and you can also take care of the small animals of the settlement...
