We flew into Heraklio and caught a hire car. It was a two hour drive to the villa, but once we saw it from the foothills we all smiled in the car. We were greeted with a warm smile and a delictible treat in the oven. A thorough run of the property from the owner and then that was us on our own. The views are spectacular from all vantage points, especially up top!.....The property is close enough to a mini mart via a drive in the car to stock up on essentials and also close enough to Chania to go out for meals and explore. We used the opportunity to visit many parts of the West of the island of Crete, always returning to the villa with a smile. The Pool is a welcomed treat after a hot day and looking out over the edge is breathtaking. I have already recommended to my friends if they ever stay on Crete and would recommend the property to anyone who wants a wonderful stay is a wonderful location.
