Beautifully located and thoughtfully equipped villa. Lovely garden and superb pool.

As one who has two villa holidays a year this was far and away the best ever. Our hosts, George and Nana were so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We left feeling like members of the family having received so many restaurant tips from George's encyclopedic knowledge of the Cretan gastronomic scene.The villa was ideally situated to explore the wonderful scenery of Western Crete. This may well be the villa that breaks our holiday rule of not going back to the same place!

Best holiday in years!

We have just arrived home after enjoying one of our best holidays ever! George and Nana were perfect hosts and their lovely home was a perfect choice. The villa is well equipped with just about everything you could need and more. The Plaka, just a 15 minute walk down the hill (25 minutes coming back up!) and has some very good restaurants and Tavernas serving excellent food (good vegetarian options too), all were very friendly and value for money. Further down the hill is the lovely coastal town of Almyrida. This was a real plus for us as it is busy enough to have everything you could want whilst staying quite traditional. Plenty of choices to eat or drink, all good value and either traditional Greek or more simple fayre. Many of the restaurants are right on the beach itself, a wonderful place to eat around early evening. The beach offers the chance for quiet sunbathing or something a little more lively and the gently shelving sands provide a great place to swim. Some water sports (not noisy motorised!) and because of the way way the bay is shaped, we saw plenty of people enjoying paddle boarding and surfing on one side of the bay while others swam in the calmer opposite side. The weather was perfect too while we were there, so all in all we were so pleased we chose the area and George and Nana's villa, highly recommended.

Lovely idyllic, restful, spacious holiday home

Oh, wow, such a beautiful, idyllic, spacious holiday home. Love at first sight! It is located on a hill, with fantastic views to the mountains and surrounding areas Plenty of little thoughtful extras when we arrived, which was a nice surprise and very useful. George and Nana are such lovely people who own the property, they are so helpful, and knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, sandy beaches etc. They live in the upper part of the house, so are usually around if you need anything. George is always up for a chat, if you need one, like me! The pool is exceptional, very clean and well maintained. It is set in the lovely gardens which are very picturesque and a pleasure to relax in. A small supermarket which has everything you need is only a couple of minutes away. The restaurants in Plaka, a three minute drive away, are excellent, There is know need to go any further. Harokopos was very friendly, reasonably priced and excellent food. It is only five minutes to the next village, Almyrida, where there are several restaurants on the waters edge. We had a sharing platter of fish at Thalami, a large portion, cooked very well, and good service. We had a fantastic holiday, one of the best and can't praise it enough!

About the host

Hosted by George

My name is George and since my retirement in 2014, I like to spend most of my time in Crete my birthplace. I enjoy socializing with the local people tasting local dishes and exploring the island of Crete which has so much to offer.

Why they chose this property

Plaka is a beautiful village in the area of Apokoronas near the sea. The greater area of Apokoronas is scenic and offers many walks and drives for the visitor to explore this area.

What makes this property unique

The villa is situated on the top of a hill offering nice views and serenity. The outside area and the pool area are nicely laid out and the garden is landscaped whilst blending in well with local nature.
