the villa is spacious and fully furnished. there are too bedrooms. one with a Queensize bed (for 2 persons) and another smaller bedroom (for 1 person). the beds are so comfortable. we liked the garden, the balcony and the virandah so much. the villa is quite near to the Airport (15 minutes car ride). when sitting outside in the garden or on the balcony, you would notice how frequently airplanes pass over the region where the villa is located. eventhough the airplanes noise is quite noticeable, it was not that much annoying and we quickly got used to it. besides, it can almost not be heard from inside the villa. the villa has a quiet neighborhood. the living room has access to the virandah From where the sea can be seen. the nearest white sand beach can be reached within 5 minutes walking distance (organised sun-beds and sun umbrellas are available too). there are many Cafés and restaurants all along the beach. if however you want to have enough place to play volleyball or beach tennis, you must probably go to the arena beach (you can take the bus. however, it would be much better if you have a car). the arena beach is one of the best sand beaches near the villa. if you want to go to places Like Agios Nikolaos, Knossos or rethymno you would need a car. there is a bus (similar to touristic buses) which you can take to go to the Airport or to heraklion City center (one way ticket Costs 1.90€). the bus is really comfortable. the busstation is within maximum 10 minutes walking distance from the villa. there is also a mini market and a backery near to the bus Station. Supermarkets are a bit further away, but easily reachable by bus or by car.
