A beautifully presented comfortable villa, preserving a traditional feel with modern features set in the delightful village of Plaka above Almyrida. It was lovely to be able to swim in the pool, chose from 4 different outdoor areas to sit and eat, or wander 2 minutes into Plaka. Here, at the best taverna in the area, family-run ‘Elpis’ produce excellent home cooked dishes using produce from their farm and traditional family recipes. A short drive away great snorkelling coves and small villages to explore. Staying at this villa gave us a little experience of village life and Cretan hospitality. We can’t wait to return!
