OUR PHILOSOPHY
Andreas – photographer and Anna – the event planner, we dreamt of the place that will offer our future clients and couples to get married the joy of slow living and natural partying with elegant yet ascetic backgrounds.
Markakis Estate is the place that booms with organic looks, designed to introduce Cretan experience of nature, food and Greek festivity.
We call Crete our home and crave for sharing this Greek island village aura with those who look for mindful simplicity of their lives and places that will build their joyful memories.
