Situated on the edge of a delightfully sleepy mountain village, this spacious, comfortable, traditional villa, with its various garden patios on different levels overlooking the little village and mountains, its modern facilities for self-catering, a local bakery, very basic supplies available in the village and a small welcoming taverna on the square, is perfect to relax, unwind and recharge your batteries. Our hostess and her parents generously left us gifts of their home-grown grapes, pears and wines, besides samples of local cake treats! Local mountain walks past goats, sheep, olive groves and vineyards take you to stunning views of nearby bays. A short drive will bring you to small, quiet, sandy or pebbly beaches, a longer drive to larger beaches, and spectacular gorges will lead you through dramatic mountains with their tiny villages and the inviting local tavernas of this peaceful area.
Historic Chania harbour is about 3/4 hr drive away, where tavernas and shops abound and local musicians entertain in the charming, narrow streets.
if you do wish to venture out of the village then a car is essential as buses rarely run. Supermarkets and shops are a short distance and an attractive drive away along winding roads overlooking the bay at Kolymbari, and fresh fruits and other goods can be found at the Friday market there.
