Easy drive to southern shores of Crete- Lerapetra and lovely drive along coast. Accommodation - Comfortable clean and calming. Loved the blue lit pool, and we had bonus fireworks for our free entertainment provided by local hotel, BBQ and outdoor cooking area all very handy. Nikos who greeted us was very helpful and gave us some good options to travel to/visit. A great place to spend a week- getting away, but not too far away from it all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### frederic d. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice Villa, nice people,nice agency The Villa and outdoor area are really nice.
