This place was far beyond my expectations. The owner meets with me early in the morning to show me the villa, and also he speaks fluent English, so communication was straightforward and comfortable. Villa Thalia has every possible thing I need for comfortable staying, including shower cream, napkins, toaster, sheets, a large number of towels of any sizes, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.
Owners of this place literally think of every possible thing you need during your stay. I came with my wife and three-year-old daughter, but the villa was able to feet around eight persons. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We lived in the bedroom closer to the kitchen and haven't used the other part of the villa because it was more than enough space for us at this side of the villa.
The location of the villa is impressive. It takes only 1 minute to get to the closest beach and 30 seconds to get to the nearest store, which is located around 400 meters away from the villa. There are two aquaparks in 10 minutes driving from the villa, Crete aquarium only 5 minutes away, dinosaurs park 5 minutes away. I enjoyed going to Hersonissos city, which is 8 minutes away from the villa Thalia. Around 2 minutes away is located restaurant Medusa which has excellent seafood, and we visited it on a few occasions. There's a small port in Hersonissos, where you can book a boat trip. I highly recommend the Black Rose pirate ship.
We rented a car, so all timing below is calculated by riding the vehicle. In case you don't rent a car, there's a large number of tavernas, beaches, stores, restaurants within a short walking distance.
Renting this villa was a great experience, and I hope to come back to this place one day.
