The villa is in a fantastic setting with wonderful views across the valley and out to sea.
We really enjoyed our time there, and made full use of the large swimming pool.
Nikos was a good host, meeting us in the local town and then guiding us in to the villa. This was really useful as it is somewhat off the beaten track, in fact it is literally the only occupied building in the area.
When we did drag ourselves away from the villa, Knossos Palace is just over an hour away and the seemingly overlooked "Ancient Elutherna" is just 5km down the road. The nearest village is the other side of the valley and as well as having a shop and a bakery to cover shopping basics, it appeared to be a local centre for pottery and craft shops.
