Villa Olive Grove proved to be the perfect place to spend a fortnight in this year of turmoil. Having booked the trip well before the outbreak started we had thought that we might not get to Greece this summer. In the event we felt very secure throughout our stay.
The villa is located on the edge of Plaka village with spectacular views from the poolside terrace- to the South the White Mountains and to theWest the bay of Almyrida and amazing sunsets blooming towards Souda and Aptera.
Five minutes walk takes you to the village with a well stocked mini market and a choice of restaurants. As other reviews mention, a car is essential to get down to Almyrida where there is a safe beach and a wide choice of places to eat including our favourite for twenty years Dimitris. A car also gives the option of exploring further afield in the local and wider area. But if all you want is to spend a lazy time by the pool then Villa Olive Branch is hard to beat.
