The Villa joy is well situated to allow for convenient access to all that is avalable in Crete. A 1 hour drive in assorted directions will send you to a new beach, intersting villlage, or hiking site. The highway system is very well structured. Villa Joy is a tremendous property and easy to live in. A 12 day stay is just about the right amount of time to really get to see the sites within 60 miles, and stilll have time for relaxation to enjoy all of the amenities of the house. The house is well designed to provide privacy to all of the bedrooms, and its a solid home. Spectaculra sea views due to the elveation of the home and multiple large balconies. The proximity (10 minute drive) to the city center of Chania provided easy access to dozens of restaurants and shops to browse. In conclusion, i dont think i could have imagined our vacation being any better or more smooth than what we expereinced. it was flawless.
