Mulberry House is a traditional farm house set in 4,000 sqm of olive grove located only 4 minutes from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, and 15 minutes from Heraklion Airport. It provides a focus point for community activities, a venue for the expression of creativity in diverse forms as well as a glimpse into authentic Cretan life. It is a place for visitors and locals to come and take part, or hold unique experiences and events in a magical setting. Its facilities include the organic olive grove, a new community therapeutic garden, a 50 sqm stage area and a private, secret garden with jacuzzi. Our aim is to create memories that bring joy.
Mulberry House strives to create a focal point for community, creativity and Cretan life (with a twist). Specifically, we aim to support the local community and in particular, young people. We promote kindness, social inclusion, diversity, and respect for all.
Mulberry House is fundamentally the brain child, home and realisation of Dr Clare Bale (McLaughlin). She took over the house and land late 2022 and has made the choice to invest, and open Mulberry House, not as a business but as a social, collaborative, creative space.
We run community events that are open to locals and visitors (see our programme and social media links below for more information). Also, for visitors to Crete, we collaborate with local people and businesses to offer unique experiences that are not available on mainstream platforms. We trust that you will contact us personally if you want to join us.
