Southern Crete: Taverns. Accommodation. Cars. Beaches. Markets.

“The Greeks have dreamed the dream of life most beautifully,”<\/h2>\n

We couldn’t agree more with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. That’s why we showcase the beauty and many attractions of Matala, Pitsidia and Messara on these pages. At the same time, we want to bring holidaymakers and locals closer together. That’s why we have sections such as \u2018Taverns\u2019, \u2018Accommodation\u2019 and \u2018Cars\u2019, as well as reports on the incredible beaches, exciting markets and secluded mountains.
Above all, we focus on personal contact between visitors and residents of this beautiful island \u2013 and we’re happy to do so without the big booking platforms, which not only ruin prices but also communication.
pitsidia.rocks is still under construction and will continue to evolve. That’s why we need your support. Send us your opinions and requests, but also your contacts for \u2018your\u2019 favourite local accommodation, taverns and beaches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u2018How many things there are that I do not need.\u2019
But even Socrates, quoted here, needed a few things \u2013 for example, a bed, food and drink, goals and the means to achieve his goals. You can find all of this here at pitsidia.rocks.
It is important to us to bring holidaymakers and locals into conversation with each other, face to face. This is a place for people to communicate with people. It\u2019s fun, provides personal information and may even save you money.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
