Location

Set at the foothills of the Talea Mountain Range in tranquil and lush green area. The ideal location for the nature lover, the one who is trying to escape from the rat race of modern life, and enjoying trips to places such as Anogeia (6km), Garazo (7km), Margarites with its famous ceramic workshops (7km), and for a swim -- Panormo 14km away.

The village of Episkopi owes its name probably to the seat of Bishopric of Avlopotamos. A characteristic monument of the village is indeed the bishopric church that was dedicated to Agios Ioannis. It was renovated in 1568 from the Latin bishop Joseph Soreto acquiring impressive orthodox illustrations. Episkopi has been mentioned since the period of the Ottoman domination.

In the village one will find kafenio/tavern fulfilling the urgent needs, but fulfilling daily requests, one can drive into the small town of Perama just 8km away, with all kind of amenities - health centre, banks, supermarkets, post office, shops, café, taverns.

Mount Kouloukonas, the highest peak of the Talea Mountain Range, is towering opposite the village of Garazo. This mountain is closely connected with Greek mythology, in which it is said that this place hosted Talos, the son of Kritos and grandfather to Radamanthy, a solar deity. Talos was brought into existence by Hephaestus and Daedalos; he was made of either copper or feathers and had one single vein running from his neck down to his ankle. According to the myth Talos was the guardian of the laws and the island. He was caught by the Argonauts and died in the arms of Dioskuri, when Medea succeeded in draining this unique vein.

The Talea Mountain Range is of exceptional beauty. Like an unassailable wall it protects and embraces the hinterland of the island. Gargling waterfalls at its foot irrigate the fertile valleys cultivated by the farmers. Its hillsides are used for pasturage, while the peak with its Timios Stavros (Holy Cross) church is facing Mount Psiloritis.
