The Crete region


Crete is the largest island in Greece and the most southerly except for the little island of Gavdos. Its southerly location guarantees over 300 days of sunshine a year.The language is Greek and the religion is Greek Orthodox. Since 2001, the Greek currency has been the Euro.
There are a lot of attractions in Crete including Samaria Gorge National Park and trips to the island of Spinalonga. Crete has beautiful beaches and is famous for its mountains. Raki is the famous drink of Crete, and be sure to taste the famous Greek souvlaki! The paradise beaches of Elafonissi and Falassarna are 30 minutes and 1 hour away by car respectively.
The Chania / Modi area
Chania is one of the oldest cities in Crete and is soaked in history. Its traditional buildings are picturesque and it is famous for the Venetian harbour and old village where you can experience the many shops and markets. Chania is easily reached by bus, car or taxi in 20 mins. Here you will see the monuments,markets and tavernas around the stunning harbour and hidden restaurants that hug the walls of the mysterious lanes and alleyways.
The busier resort of Platanias is 5 minutes drive along the road, in an eastward direction driving towards Chania. Here you will find an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. What I think is great about the restaurants is many of them have children's play areas, which lets parents relax. There are plenty of restaurants for romantic dining and bars and nightclubs for those wishing to enjoy the nightlife.
The port of Souda bay is near Chania and families can take a visit to the bowling alley which has stunning views of Souda bay. Gerani is 14.5km west of chania, with its award winning pebble beach which is organised with seasports, sunloungers, umbrellas, wc, bars, tavernas, car and bike rentals. Modi is one of the small villages located near Gerani, here you will experience the unspoiled Cretan nature and hospitality and enjoy short walks past the traditional orange and olive trees.

We had a great time in the villa. This villa is very modern and well located. Both isolated in the hills but close to town and beaches. The pool is well isolated from neighbors and is very pleasant. We look forward to returning to spend a holiday. |

Excellent property, good specification, great view. Villa Oniro is well designed, spacious, tastefully decorated and furnished. The bedrooms are very comfortable, well planed and the kitchen is well equiped. The swimming-pool and the terrace are very welcoming at all times. You can reach Platanias (Taverns, bars, beaches) within 5 min. by car which is highly recommended. Great Villa and Holidays. |
