About
Welcome to Metohi Istoria, one of the oldest and most well-preserved estates on the island of Crete, dating back to the 15 century AD and representing classic Venetian architecture. Metohi Istoria is surrounded by lush avocado forests and other tropical and Mediterranean fruits that lend to its tranquil setting.
Surrounded by avocado forests, olives, oranges and other Mediterranean and semi-tropical fruits, Metohi Istoria is a hidden gem waiting to become an enchanting backdrop to your love story.
Carefully restored and partially renovated, this historical paradise is a romantic and spacious venue with multiple outdoor levels that adds elegance, dimension, and definition to your event throughout your special day.
A century old stone fence surrounds this warm and earthy scenery. Only sprawling grape vines and their delicate perfumed scents separate you and your guests from the twinkling stars, setting the tone of an elegant private reception. A nature setting that can be transformed from a rustic-chic ceremony with boho vibes, to a luxurious wedding event with glamorous decorative touches.
Our stunning location can comfortably accommodate up to two hundred cherished guests, providing an enchanting setting for your celebration. Within the atmospheric ambiance of the old oil mill, we also offer an intimate space which can accommodate gatherings of up to eighty guests.
Metohi Istoria welcomes you, our discerning guest, and gives you the opportunity to craft your own exquisite story within this monument. A place which, not only pays tribute to Cretan history, but shares cultural insights into one of Greece’s most special regions.

Metohi Istoria was the dream wedding venue for us! From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with its rich history and unique character. The space is just the right size, offering a perfect blend of privacy and the ability to host everything we needed—from the ceremony to the reception, dinner, and dancing, both indoors and outdoors.
The surroundings are absolutely enchanting, with beautiful fruit trees adding to the magical atmosphere. What truly made our experience unforgettable was working with Eleanna. She is not only incredibly organized but also genuinely caring, making the entire planning process so easy. With her support, our wedding day went off without a hitch!
I can’t thank Metohi Istoria enough for helping us create such a special day. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any brides-to-be—you won’t regret it!
