This villa was phenomenal for 12 people celebrating a 30th Birthday/Bachelorette. The location is right on the edge of town, away from the noise and crowd, but still within walking/taxi distance to the harbor and awesome restaurants with incredible views. The pool and beach were beautiful and SO enjoyable even in mid-May. The surrounding area is AMAZING- we did a Cretan cooking class (Androniki Cretan House- food to die for), went to Oinoxoos House of Wine for wine tasting (MUST GO!!!!), took the ferry to Santorini for a day, hiked the Samarian Gorge (out of this world)..and the beachfront Villa Avra was the perfect central location for all of it. Thanks for a vacation I'll cherish the rest of my life!!!
