About Christina Villas: Christina Villas was a project completed in 2003. Thanassis Paspalakis, founder and Director of Zakros Tours did see the obvious, that Pendamodi, the village where he was born could be, due to beauty and location, an ideal place for alternative and high quality tourism. He created a complex of 11 superb villas, featuring one of Crete's best properties. As a specialist in tourism Thanassis, did understand what his guests would want from their distinctive vacations. Our long experience in “philoxenia” \[hospitality in ancient and modern Greek\] is always there for our guests. Our will is to treat our guests mostly as family friends coming on vacation, rather than a client as meant by hospitality sciences. Christina complex, was named after the mother of Thanassis, an adorable woman, married to Manolis Paspalakis, owner of the Kafeneion founded in 1930 and renovated by his grand-grand son Giorgos in 2005. Coast/beach and eating outdoors: 15 km from the famous Ammoudara Beach (15 minutes drive). Ammoudara Beach is 6 kms long and is famous among locals and foreigners for its thin golden sand. It has parts with a lot of people, while others with few, also it has restaurants, cafes, water sports, beach bars. Another choice near, recommended from our guests is Lygaria , a more quiet and family beach, located at a gulf, suitable for windy days. Amnissos, Karteros and Paliokastro beaches are also within short drive distances. There are two traditional 'kafenions' in Pendamodi one of which also serves traditional 'mezes', Giorgos' 'Mezedopoleion', a mix of Cretan cafe and taverna, highly recommended by our guests for his hospitality and dishes. Additionally, a selection of brilliant local taverns can be found within a few kilometers in the surrounding villages and the Christina complex modern snack café is always an alternative and on site Special interest holidays / Service: Courses on Greek History and Literature can take place on special demand by the candidate doctor of Philology, Adonis Paspalakis. On this vacation you are not going to be alone: For the best service we will support your holiday during your stay, guaranteeing that you will get the most of your vacation: An information book with local sightseeing, tavernas, beaches and general information will be provided. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - A coffee shop/cafe - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34450000/34448900/34448898/fd422d66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ΤΡΕΙΣ ΧΑΡΙΤΕΣ - ΒΙΛΑ ΜΕ ΠΙΣΙΝΑ - VILLA WITH SWIMMING POOL- VILA WITH POOL Heraklion - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=34448898&PinnedHotelID=34448898&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39140000/39139800/39139759/688735e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday house Agios Myronas for 1 - 6 persons with 3 bedrooms - Holiday home Agios Myronas - Pool - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=39139759&PinnedHotelID=39139759&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48990000/48983900/48983873/9d384726.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious comfortable villa in traditional style Heraklion - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=48983873&PinnedHotelID=48983873&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107740000/107736200/107736106/f9a80354.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anthemis Luxury Villas 2 Heraklion - Pool - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=107736106&PinnedHotelID=107736106&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116730000/116727700/116727640/d162690d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Anel - A peaceful retreat Iraklio - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=116727640&PinnedHotelID=116727640&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48990000/48983600/48983546/fa3ea3ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Two bedroom traditional villa with private pool Heraklion - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=48983546&PinnedHotelID=48983546&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108960000/108956000/108955955/7e55c44a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Phyllia, a property with history - fifteen minutes from Iraklion airport.
