This attractive detached stone built 3 bedroom villa with private screened pool has stunning views and is located only a few minutes walk from the centre of this traditional village and approx (12/15 kms) inland from the popular beach resorts of Georgeopolis, Kalyves & Almyrida, midway between Rethymenon & Chania on the north coast. This is a pretty historic village in a slightly elevated location surrounded by olive grove farms with two established tavernas and two mini markets. Nearby (approx 10 mins drive) is a small quiet bay, Obrosgialos bay, with a cafe/taverna (seasonal) perfect for swimming/snorkelling in the crystal clear waters off the rocks.
Ideal for those couples and families wanting to enjoy Cretan culture in a traditional village environment whilst only a short taxi / bus / car ride from nearby popular sandy beach resorts. The historic Cities of Chania is 45 minutes away, Rethymenon is also 45 minutes away. Heraklion is around 1.5 hours away. Local buses operate daily but can be irregular so a car is recommended to fully appreciate the area's attractions.

Guest Reviews
Fantastic villaOne of the best equipped holiday villas we've stayed in- plenty of glasses/ cutlery/ utensils, which is not always the case! The pool is a really nice size for swimming and cooling down. Nothing was too much trouble for James during the booking process, and all of my queries were answered quickly. The location is great- lovely and quiet but only a short drive to beaches/ villages/ tavernas (or a short walk to the shop/taverna in the village!). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa! If we come back to Crete, we'll come back to you!
