About The Experience

This Greece rental villa on Crete offers a mix of modern and traditional Cretan life. You’ll love taking in the scenery, lounging by your own private pool, or having lunch on the terrace or balcony of this villa rental in Greece. But you’ll also enjoy the town of Plakias, big and lively enough to have a range of activities but small enough to retain its traditional charm. The beautiful south-facing bay is ideal for swimming and sunbathing, while the hills behind this villa in Greece provide wonderful trails through olive groves and beyond.

Location Description

This Greek island villa in Crete is right in Plakias, 100 meters from the beach. The sand runs in a long strip around the bay, offering areas of both pebbles and sand. There are also spots good for snorkeling and, at the far end, for nudists. The atmosphere of the town can be busy at times, and there are plenty of restaurants along with two discos and a number of bars. The town is an excellent base for walking and cycling in the quiet countryside, offering paths at every level of difficulty. You’ll also want to organize a day trip to Rethymnon to visit the sixteenth century Venetian Fortezza, formidable in itself but also the location of the annual Rethymnon Renaissance Festival. If you’re interested in the history of the island you may also want to step into the Historical and Folk Art Museum for a taste of traditional Cretan ceramics, artifacts, jewelry, textiles, and clothing from across the centuries.
