Our family of ten has just returned from an amazing stay at Villa Myrto. Despite us not arriving at the Villa until 10pm both Georgia and Eftihis were waiting to greet us and completely surprised us as they had laid on a big table of fresh home made food and snacks, along with a big bottle of home made wine and Raki! Both Georgia and Eftihis are really friendly and welcoming and joined us for a glass of wine as they told us about the local area and everything we needed to know about the villa. As we had no time upon our arrival to pick up any groceries Eftihis immediately offered to pick us up the following morning and take us to the local Lidl. On the journey he also took the time to show us the best local beaches and some of the best tavernas.
The villa itself is amazing, very well equipped, very clean and spacious and plenty of room for pretty much three separate families (two completely self contained units as well as the main villa. Our party consisted of 8 adults, 20-50 years, and two small children 1 and 3. The villa had a high chair and cot and cupboards full of children’s toys, both inside and at the pool area. There are sea views from the 2 upper bedrooms and the dining room balcony.
The best feature of the vila for us was the beautiful pool/outside living area. There are plenty of sunbeds with towels, a bbq/ dining area with outdoor kitchen and fridge freezer, a grassed volley ball/foot ball area and table tennis table as well as a big covered dining area. Other than sleeping this is where we spent 90% of our time!
The villa is ideally situated with the nearest tavernas and coffee shops and small supermarket being a 5 minute stroll and two bigger supermarkets about 15 minutes away. There are three beautiful beaches all within a 15-20 minute stroll, which usually involved stopping for a frappe on the way! The port of Chania is a 15 minute/12 euro taxi ride away or you can catch the local bus (bus stop in front of BMW garage which cost 1.20 euro per person each way. It’s definitely worth a trip and the old town is packed with bars, restaurants and small shops.
Georgia and Eftihis are very proud of their villa and along with their outstanding Greek hospitality we really couldn’t recommend this holiday home enough. We are all currently suffering the holiday blues and look forward to returning in the future.
