Villa Kynthia is a beautiful place, an oasis of calm which also served us as an ideal base for exploring Agios Nikolaos and eastern Crete. The garden and pool are designed with lots of greenery, olive trees, flowers and shade. The apartments are bright, with their own outside seating areas. We drove to a nearby sandy beach most days. We would recommend staying here for those who are looking for a quiet, restorative break.
