Stratos Villas are in a isolated location in the foothills of the mountains of eastern Crete. The villas are surrounded by olive groves and the mountains form a stunning backdrop.
The villas are well equipped and are kept really clean by Nikolaos's cousins who serviced the pool every day and cleaned the villa 3 times in the week. We didn't manage much communication due to language barriers but they were smiley and friendly all the time.
The villas are slightly rustic but in a charming way. The kitchen facilities are adequate although we probably demanded more of the oven and hob than most guests as we both enjoy cooking and only dined out once in the week. The balcony was a great place to eat our evening meals as the day comes to an end. The garden and pool lights create a lovely atmosphere and the crickets and goat bells provide a unique "audio backing".
