This villa was magical. The perfect pairing to Plakias’ beautiful fine-sand beach that has yet to be over-touristed or overrun. You’ll love the plunge pool after long days at the beach reading and snorkeling; visiting nearby sights (e.g. boat to Preveli beach, hike to Damoni around the point, take in the views at Kourtaliotiko Gorge, etc.), or drives through the mountains. We visited other beaches on the South coast of Crete, but even in late September, they were packed and much less beautiful, in our opinion. The villa itself is gorgeous and Filippos immediately makes you feel at home with treats and many welcoming touches. We’ve already decided (and will recommend) that all our friends must come to this wonderous place for their next vacation!
