Ζείστε μία αυθεντική εμπειρία
του κρητικού τρόπου ζωής
An authentic Cretan estate where copper stills, old stone walls, and genuine hospitality meet. Join us at our family table to taste the real Crete, not just see it.
Making memories
on the farm
Before you reach the long table, the estate unfolds in layers animals in the garden, a copper still breathing smoke, a stone mitato where hands still shape cheese, and a feast that tastes of the soil it came from.

A family farm that opened
its doors to the world
Rakidio was born from our family's everyday life. It started as a small family farm, with the raki kazani, the mitato, the gardens, and a table that always had room for one more person.
Over the years, we decided to share this way of life with people seeking the genuine side of Crete. We didn't create an experience for visitors; we simply opened our home and estate, just as we would for a friend.
The raki you'll taste is the same one we drink. The cheese is what we make for our own family. And the hospitality you'll experience is what we would offer to someone dear to us.
Come up the mountain
Rakidio sits 20 minutes above Plakias, in the village of Sellia. Visits are small, hosted, and best booked a few days ahead — especially during harvest season.
