Our stay at Villa Athena Elea was amazing! We a family of 4 with 2 small kids in the age of 5 & 1,5 years old, it was the perfect place to stay. The villa is completely & beautifully walled and fenced, has an great outdoor area with a small slide and age appropriate toys.
Next to that Apostolos and his family were amazing hosts who even fenced the pool with a great DIY construction to make it safe for our adventures 1,5 year old. They welcomed us with a welcoming basket with local products, filled the fridge with drinks and fresh fruit from their orchard. They had prepared a broad itinerary about the house, the surroundings and the things to do.
The villa itself is very beautiful combination of modern architecture and traditional elements and provides absolutely everything you need to make your stay very pleasant. We loved staying there and it was a great way experience Crete as the house is perfectly located. We would definitely recommend the house if you’re looking for a relaxed way to experience Crete in your own pace.
