Topos Olon ( meaning place of all) exudes a sense of inclusivity, community, and universality. It represents a space that belongs to everyone, yet is personal to each individual—a place where everyone can find their own peace and experiences. In this place, hospitality is not a service; it is an art, a ritual. The Place of All welcomes visitors to experience the simplicity and tranquility of the Cretan way of life, to savor the rich gastronomic heritage of the island, and to become part of a community that embraces the present, the past, and the future.

In the heart of Crete, in the historic village of Kallikratis in Sfakia, a grand house from the 1800s is being revived to become a unique place of hospitality, connection, and authentic experiences. Deeply rooted in local history and heritage, this house, which for decades served as a haven of warmth and open arms for all, continues its journey into the present. The owners, with a profound respect for the value of the past and a vision for the future, preserve the traditional character of the house.

The experiences

Beginning with a warm welcome and a stroll through the village, guests are immersed in local history and meet the people who keep ancient customs alive. The journey continues in the lovingly restored house where the guest chambers, the fireplace, the large wooden tables, and the cistern come alive to offer an experience that reconnects visitors with the essence of life, free from the rush and complexity of the modern world. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy traditional meals prepared in front of them with pure, local ingredients, accompanied by fine regional wines.

After that we will explore the old forest paths which lead to extraordinary views. It’s an experience that bridges past and present, inviting visitors to reconnect with nature, culture, and the true spirit of Crete. *Anyone who wishes can experience the magic of nature by night, where city lights fade away and the sky reveals its full brilliance—endless stars stretching above, accompanied by the calm sounds of the night that gently fill the darkness.

* The place can be rented for private events or overnight staying
