Profile of the owners.
Farmers, olive trees, orange trees, and more....
Our origin is from the area of Dere and we were in a position to possess property in Dere. Through ownership and our love for nature and for this beautiful place got the idea of the restoration of two farmhouses in the area and the cultivation of the land
Our motivation is simple, willing for job creation, respect for people, the environment, our tradition and Cretan hospitality.
If you are a walking enthusiasts should come to Dere. Marked paths (or not) will bring you into direct contact with the Cretan nature and experience the local flora which is of great interest.
Some mountain bikes are also provided.
We organized traditional cooking classes and wine tasting.
And if you still want more contact with the land, at the farm there are work and activities throughout the year that you can participate or work (with payment) and so to disclose some of the "secrets" of our land.

Virgin Maria Festival 14-15 August

Deres Chania village is a verdant semi mountainous settlement of Platanias municipality with many water springs and the sources of Tavronitis River. It is located 32 km from Chania Crete. Deres is a small beautiful peaceful village set in a quiet and green area full of nature and with many olive groves. Surrounded by small rivers, lush greenery of plane trees and wild mountains, all green setting and idyllic scenery.
Deres is on the way to Sougia 40 km, in the southern Crete. Stone houses and tiny churches dot the village. The road leading there is asphalt but windy, so attention is required when driving.
The fortress Metochi that you will be able to see at Deres is an impressive fortress and a complex of buildings of the Venetian period that still survives. It has large internal courtyard and buildings all around and it was the residence of the Venetian ruler and later, the residence of the Turkish Aga who ruled the region during the Ottoman occupation.
If you ever visit Deres, you should definitely experience the traditional festivals and celebrations that are organized four times a year from early July to early September. You will have the chance to enjoy the Cretan hospitality and to taste local treats, namely honey, cheese, wine, xerotigana and the famous raki, the traditional Cretan alcohol drink. The permanent residents of the village cultivate olives, oranges, chestnuts as well as honey and they also produce charcoal in the traditional way. They also farm sheep and goats. There is an equestrian club offering visitors the chance to learn how to ride a horse or to simply take a walk on horseback. A tavern with traditional food is also available.
The story of Deres has its roots in the period of the Venetian Rule, according to the tradition, when the village passed under the command of Augusta Theodora, the wife of the Byzantine Emperor Theophilos, the village took the designation Augusta, in honor of the Emperor’s wife. In an ecclesiastical bronze tray dating 1857, which is hosted in the church of the Savior, there is an inscription with the name “Augusta” and in brackets, the later name of the village Deres.
