About The Experience

Well-suited for a family or a group of friends, this modern villa has lovely views of the Mediterranean and the small bay of Almyrida, a seaside fishing village that is a short walk away. You can walk to a sandy beach, to traditional tavernas serving fresh caught fish and local produce, and to food shops and cafes. This villa is well-located for exploring some of Crete’s scenic towns, traditional handicrafts, the White Mountains, and the island’s western coast.

Location Description

This villa is located on the western side of Crete just minutes from sandy beaches and the fishing village of Almyrida. Almyrida has traditional tavernas serving fresh fish and local produce, coffee shops that transform into bars at night, shops, and markets. There’s also a lovely waterfront with clear water. For the adventurous, you can find windsurfing, snorkeling, and canoe rental facilities in town. Four kilometers inland, the village of Gavalohori makes a great excursion, with narrow streets filled with buildings from the Byzantine, Venetian, and Turkish eras, a folklore museum, and views of the White Mountains. Chania, the second largest town on Crete, is 25 kilometers away and offers many more sights.
