Having read the raving reviews about Nikos’ villa, we were already anticipating a fantastic holiday for our group, however the host, the villa, and the whole trip to Crete itself exceeded our wildest expectations.
Sfakia is a fantastic, calm region full of local traditions and delicious food. The villa itself lends itself wonderfully to larger groups,; we found the open concept of every room being accessed independently from the outside to be great, as it encouraged all of us to spend time outside in the 'patio' which connects all the rooms together. Nikos and his family were extremely helpful in helping us find restaurants and activities in Crete, as well as bringing us several local specialities such as wine, a local spirit called 'Raki', cakes, tea, and much more. We could not appreciate them more, and thank them a lot, as their hospitality and care played a great factor in making our trip so enjoyable.
If you are looking for a peaceful, yet curious place to enjoy while visiting Greece, look no further, as Villa Olvia is definitely the place to be.
