Simply amazing! Our family of 6 visiting Crete for the very first time leave with the most fabulous experience ever! Our journey in Greece started in Athens and had us flying into Crete and then eventually departing by ferry to Naxos; the suggestion to rent cars and have them delivered was spot on. We had booked transfers all through Christine which were waiting for us at the airport and on time for our departure day to the port.
The Villa is incredible. The pics are spot on, super clean and inviting and sprawling deck with pool made it perfect after a day exploring or at Plaka Beach.
Plaka Beach is literally a short walk (less than 5 mins downhill) and at the beach have complimentary access to beach chairs and umbrella. Plaka is quieter compared to Elounda, but many fantastic dining options. Taverna Spinolonga and Ostria were just a couple that we dined at.
We were welcomed with a few snacks and had been invited to connect with the super market (Euro Mart) in nearby Elounda (less than a 15 min drive).
Our family have many gardens at home and truly appreciated the gardens containing figs and lemons. Delicious!
Overall 11/10 experience!
