Nestled just 20 kilometers outside Rethymno, in the serene Amari valley region, Kotsifis Estate sits above Potamoi village beside the picturesque Potamon Dam — a haven where a mesmerizing trail winds through Cretan wilderness, surrounded by wild trees, aromatic herbs, and native plants.
The estate is the legacy of Stavros Kotsifis, who inherited this land from his father over 30 years ago and made the pivotal decision to transition to organic farming — driven by a passion for sustainability and respect for the land.
