History“There is this land laying in the middle of a deep blue sea,
Crete… a beautiful, grand water surrounded island.
An island of numerous inhabitants and ninety states. Each nation with its own
language.
Aches and Cretans –sparrow hawk lads- Cydonian and Dorian and Pelasgian men
live there.
There Knossos, the famous land,
Where Minoas, Zeus’ comrade
Ruled the island for nine years” ,
Odyssey, Rhapsody T’
CRETE
Crete: the Bridge connecting Europe and Africa, the crossroad of three
continents, the place embracing grand canyons and fertile camps, with the wild
landscape of the White Mountains rising imposingly, is conquering the landscape.
Within a various, but lovely climate, the connecting web of nations and
civilizations has been a place of grand dispute among invaders. Crete still
holds its uniqueness throughout forests and gorges, an autonomous island since
it provides the habitants with excellent goods. Crete is a carrier of a history
reaching the 7th millennium b.C. Since the Minoan Civilization, with
constructions of perfect architecture during the Byzantium times, is rich in
cultural in heritage, which manages to survive touch less, through their live
mark of hundreds of monuments.
E. Venizelos, I. Kondylakis, N. Kazantzakis, N. Prevelakis, D.
Theotokopoulos: Great intellectuals of Cretan noesis, prominent people in the
paths knowledge, enlightened the world with their spiritual expression. The
largest island of Crete, second in size in the Mediterranean, keeps its
historic, traditional and cultural characteristics untouched, while at the same
time, provides all modern standards for the best hosting of its guests. Crete is
a splendid mixture of wonderful civilizations and cultures of the past, but it
is also a vivid world constantly creating new traditions. There are many great
cities that developed in the northern part of the island, around the important
ports and in the country as well. Crete is separated in four regions: Heraklion,
Lasithi, Rethymnon and Chania Prefectures.
CHANIA PREFECTURE
Chania Prefecture spreads on to the west part of the island. It extends to
2,376-mile squares and approximately 134,000 people inhabit it. It is a
mountainous area providing fantastic beaches. Chania is a special place. A place
generously offering extremely beautiful nature and many modern comforts, which
in no case misquote its physiognomy. Capital of Chania Prefecture is the
homonymous romantic and hospitable city of “the roses and the jasmines”,
according to the excursionists of the past. Chania or Ancient Cydonia, is a city
built on the sea. A place that combines in an ideal way old and contemporary
architecture.
XANOUDOHORI
Small and traditional, hospitable and peaceful, Xamoudohori welcomes its guests,
who can enjoy the relaxing rhythms of the daily life, visit the historic and
religion monuments of the area and be seduced by the wonderful, endless beaches
of Chania Prefecture. The infrastructures and natural environment of the area,
easily offer whatever the most demanding guest can dream of regarding the
precious days of both the winter and the summer vacations. Two are the more
dominant theories over the name of the beautiful village: Xamoudohori, according
to the locals the name means its land is approached by the winds. The second
theory is related to history: The community might have taken its name by the
Turkish pasha Xamoudi. Xamoudohori is 19 km away from the city of Chania, and it
is part of Platania Municipality. Hourmouzi Byzantio first mentions it in 1842.
In 1881 census is referred as Xamoudohori in Pyrgos Psilonerou Municipality,
inhabited by 80 Christians. During this period of time, many people from the
mountainous areas started to move down and buy Turkish land there so that they
can live permanently there. In 1920 the village is the basis of the homonymous
agricultural Community, inhabited by 257 people. In 1928 Xamoudohori is part of
Kontomari Community with 329 inhabitants. In 1940 Xamoudohori is once more the
basis of the homonymous Community with 259 inhabitants. According to 1991
census,Xamoudohori has nowadays a total population of 178 people.
The traditional community of Ksamoudochori is located 3km southwest of
the historic village of Maleme and just 5 km away from the seaside region
of Platanias which is an especially tourist destination during summer
because of its lively night life. Platanias is famous for its many restaurants,
bars and clubs. Its sandy beach, which offers many sea sports, attracts many
visitors as well. Although Athina Luxury Villas have been built on
the highest point of Ksamoudochori so that their.
Guests can enjoy their privacy and quietness, they are just a stone’s throw
away from the cosmopolitan city center of Chania. Ksamoudochori is easily
accessed through the local road network and the National Road.
When arriving from Chania (or Heraklion) and following the seashore local road (Kissamou
Str), we go through Platanias, Gerani and when entering Maleme we turn left to
Ksamoudochori ( 3 km). Athina Luxury Villas are situated a few meters after the
last turn of Ksamoudochori village and there are also road signs that will
