This Villa is the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing, scenic Cretan getaway. It’s nestled into a small village outside of Heraklion with a breathtaking view of the fields and hills. There is a taverna and mini-market just a few minute walk away for all your immediate needs. The villa itself was charming, with an incredible balcony and a semi-private pool. Katerina is also a lovely host! She met me late at night when I arrived and worked with my taxi driver to direct him to the location. In true Greek fashion, she made sure I had bread for breakfast in the morning and gave me fruit and fresh tomatoes and peppers from her garden. I stayed in the villa for 2 days before driving to Chania, which was the perfect start to a 2-week long trip. I would highly recommend Katerina’s place for anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful holiday in Crete.
