The villa is excellent. It's located across five staggered floors (three on one side and two on the other). The sea view from the pool and two of the balconies is wonderful. The listing is very accurate, and while some of the lens choices for the photographs make it look larger this seems to be mostly to fit as much in a photograph as possible and thus it should be noted that it is a very spacious villa.

The village of Panormos is small, but with ample restaurants and bars whether one prefers a harbour view or dining al fresco in town. The sunsets over the harbour from the restaurants at the eastern tip of the town are fantastic.

We found Panormos to be a good base from which to explore, whether to local ruins and monasteries (the artefacts at Arkardy were phenomenal), to Knosos (just under an hour's drive) to visting various beaches and mountain escapes.

Everyone had a great time here. Villa Andreas is perfect for a group where some want to drive off and explore and others to laze by the pool or chill in the village or on the village beaches.

We hired a car and I would suggest that this is essential for staying in Panormos.
