Home - Musafir Crete

Welcome to Musafir Crete

a reconstructed Turkish Metochi and a living family farm nestled amidst an avocado and mandarin plantation. This idyllic retreat offers a unique opportunity for relaxation and tranquility, while being conveniently located just 10 minutes away from the charming old Venetian harbor of Chania. With the nearest beach only 15 minutes away and the airport within a 20-minute drive, Musafir Crete is an ideal base for exploring the wonders of Crete and enjoying unforgettable family holidays.

"Musafir"

is a Turkish word that has found its way into the Greek language and holds a special significance in Greek culture. It encapsulates the sacred concept of a visitor, representing the foreigner, traveler, or guest who is welcomed with utmost attention, care, and generosity by the host. In Greek culture, hospitality is highly regarded and deeply ingrained, and Musafir embodies this ethos.

"Must be one of the most beautiful houses in western Crete. I went there to write and found the perfect, tranquil retreat from the world. It is rare to find somewhere so spacious, authentic and yet luxurious. I used to sit in the walled garden, surrounded by orange and avocado trees, and feel that I had gone back in time. The view of the magnificent mountains in the distance was majestic too. Peaceful, private and unique - I have never stayed anywhere like it. "

I have been coming to Greece for twenty years but I have never stayed anywhere quite as wonderful as Musafir. A home not a hotel, exquisitely furnished, Musafir sits in an ancient, walled garden full of herbs and flowers and with oranges and avocadoes waiting to be picked. Close to Chania yet lost in the countryside, it’s the Crete I have always been searching for but which most tourists miss. If you want an utterly authentic experience and a retreat from all the pressures of life, this is quite simply a dream come true.
