Home description
Villa K is located within a picturesque, traditional Greek village with tavernas, shops and Kafenions yet is only five minutes’ drive from the beautiful family-friendly beaches of the up-market resort of Kalives with a great choice of amenities and restaurants.
The villa benefits from its own private pool (complete with sun loungers and umbrella), with a shallow end perfect for children and non-slip terrace around the pool. There are several large, furnished outside terraces including a raised, shaded seating and BBQ area to one end of the pool from where you can keep an eye on the kids in the pool whilst enjoying lunch. On the first floor is a very large furnished terrace with shade from where you can enjoy the views and a pre-dinner drink and the most amazing views across the olive groves to the coast at Kalives and the Akrotiri peninsula.
With two doubles (including one downstairs), one twin bedroom and two comfortable double sofa beds in the lounge, the villa is ideal for families with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay.

The Crete region
Crete is an island with an exquisite 1,000 kilometre-long coastline dotted with numerous coves, bays and peninsulas, which afford a multitude of soft, sandy beaches along the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea. Crete is known as home of the Minoan civilization with important archaeological finds.
Crete is the largest island in Greece - the fifth largest in the Mediterranean - with more than 8,000 square kilometres, there is plenty to discover.
The weather in Crete is characterised by mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The climate of Crete is a temperate Mediterranean climate and is suitable for year round holidays. Why not take advantage of the lovely weather in April/May and September/October when it's nice and quiet?
Kalives, Crete area
Kalives
Kalives lies about 20 km east of Chania in the Apokoronas area and is on the coast at the entrance of Souda Bay. The town is bound on one side by the sea and the other by low hills.
A long sandy beach runs alongside most of the town, interrupted by a small stream popular with ducks. The beach is popular with families and there are many tavernas and restaurants in the village. However, Kalives is a working - not just a tourist - village, so there is a good selection of shops: bakeries, butchers, ironmongers and so on - even a cooper (barrel maker). Kalives has churches, a post office and squares. The centre is dominated by a fine church with a square in front. Kalives is a popular tourist destination, yet has retained its character.
Beaches
Five minutes drive to the two fabulous beaches at Kalives. Numerous other beaches close by. The beach in Kalives centre is particularly family friendly, being a sheltered bay with gently sloping sand into the sea. Plenty of amenities here with numerous tavernas/shops. The beach just outside of Kalives is larger and more open and has a couple of tavernas.
Activities
Things to see and do include some of the following (we provide a detailed information pack in the villa);
Horse rising, cycling tours, walking in the White Mountains and scuba diving can all be enjoyed locally. There are also come fabulous places to visit including ancient sites, local beauty spots such as Lake Kournas and for those who want to venture a little further afield, the Samaria Gorge or a day trip to Santorini.
We can recommend a good local tour operator who can organise a variety of activities and trips at reasonable rates.
There is a water park for younger guests about 40 minutes' drive from the villa.

Guestbook for Villa K
"You're villa is just perfect! I loved there being different sitting areas, moving round them with the mood of the day. With it being so near Armeni and Neo Chorio for local market and taverna's, I could easily have just spent the time there; a glass of wine, a good book and the pool to cool in! A pretty prefect holiday, mostly down to the beautiful villa and it's tranquil setting". Laing family, Summer 09.
"We had a fantastic time thankyou. Your villa was perfect and we had a brilliant holiday lazing by the pool. I will recommend it to everyone I know!!" Hall family, Summer 09.
“We had a great time and you certainly have a lovely villa, well looked after, clean and spacious, it was all exactly what we hoped. Sitting out on the veranda in the evening was definitely a highlight, with views overlooking the olive groves and out to sea. Everything was perfect and we would certainly recommend your villa to friends and family.” Vines Family, Summer 08
“We had a really wonderful week. The villa was lovely, the weather was perfect (nice breezes to cool us down) and the beaches were fantastic and really child friendly. We found lots of good local tavernas but I think as far as the children were concerned the best part of all was the pool - they had a really fantastic time in it!”. Pender Family, Summer 08
“Your villa is wonderful, the swimming pool is fantastic, the garden landscaping is wonderful.-it is so lovely. it is so much better in everyway than the website portrays. Overall a brilliant holiday the children absolutely loved it" Walton Family, Summer 08
