This villa is a great place to relax and do nothing! The villa is a short walk to the beach and a few local restaurants and shops for necessities, aside from that, there isn't much around. If you want to do sightseeing, make sure to rent a car, and prepare for some longer rides. The central location, allowed us to visit both Chania and Heraklion, as the villa is situated roughly between the two cities. The Villa is spacious and comfortable for a family. The local beach bar is run by the same family, and serves wonderful local food -- make sure to try the sardines and the lamb in white wine sauce!!
