Eleftherna : Holiday Accommodation

Situated in the beautiful and historic Crete hinterland, Eleftherna offers the visitor a truly relaxing cheap holiday destination. Situated on a spur of Mount Ida, the highest mountain in Crete and where Zeus was born, it was originally the capital of an ancient city-state. As a result this package holiday also offers a wealth of archaeological sites in the immediate vicinity to keep the most inquisitive child occupied on a family holiday.

Nearby is the necropolis of Orthi Petra, which may sound like something from a science-fiction comic but is in reality an elaborate tomb cut into the mountain, filled with the ashes of early warriors who it is assumed fell in battle in foreign lands, even Troy. There are also the ashes of many priestesses, who were the guardians of the site, which has led to historians to rethink their ideas about women in early Greek society.
