Home description
The villa Crete Ostria – Elafonisi, is built on the edge of a cliff, offering a fantastic view of magnificent sunsets over the sea. Being in a village, it is at the same time isolated and has a pool designed to be hidden by high trees. The architecture combines innovation with typical island influences while particular emphasis has been placed on the surrounding area. The villa has been designed to provide the ideal accommodation for people who set high standards for their holidays and wish to combine privacy in an idyllic spot with adventure as well as comfort with luxury. -----MORE INFO: in the end of this page - the choice = Visit the advertiser's website--. differently Owners Website innahorion-villas.gr

The Crete region
Crete:
The island of many small paradises In the summer, shows visitors two contrasting faces, just like the ancient Roman god Janus.On the north coast, four large cities, hotels of unbelievable luxury and swarms of happy tourists bear witness to a thriving tourist industry. Here is the glow of the most famous part of Crete.Just a few kilometres away lies the other part of Crete, the still unexplored part of the island in the south-west. Numerous hidden beaches, warm embraces of palm and banana trees, rivers that spring from gorges of unprecedented beauty flowing into idyllic bays and nearby villages that seem forgotten by time and man, unknown monasteries and undiscovered vestiges of ancient civilisations make up the scenery of this land. In the summer breeze, the traditional villages, the forgotten plateaus, the warm, lee and dreamy beaches bring paradise a little closer.The villa is located on the western coast of the island of Crete at a distance of 150 meters from the sea
The villa is located in the seaside village of Livadia, Innahorion, in the south-Western part of Crete, at a distance of 72 km from Chania and 31 km from Kissamos. The villa can be accessed through a 4 km long road that is connected to the regional provincial road. The village is located in the middle of the European hiking path E4– a seaside route of exceptional natural beauty- that starts at the village of Kambos and continues through the villages of Livadia, Chryssoskalitissa and Elafonissi. The route is typical of the rugged beauty of Crete with amazing changes of the scenery between olive and locust trees and sea-beaten rocks of black and red volcanic lava.
In the village of Livadia, buying food is still done in the traditional way – you may buy fish from the fishermen in the small harbour, vegetables, dairy products and meat from the farmers, but you will also find three small taverns. There is a mini-market in the village of Kefali and larger supermarkets in the villages of Platanos and Kissamos. A gas station is located about 11 km away in the village of Elos. The villa tenants may, if they wish, take part in the daily activities of the village people: they may charter a boat for a boating outing or fishing, they can learn about or even do some farming work, they may join the village people in their local festivities, they may take part in the annual grape picking and grape stamping to make wine, they can watch how tsikoudia (Cretan local drink) is made etc. Finally, they are sure to become friends with the village people, who still treat foreign visitors as their own guests following the Cretan hospitality tradition
How to get there
Charter Flights to Chania Direct Charter flights to Chania operate on a TUESDAY from Birmingham / Bristol / Gatwick / Manchester and are operated by Excel, Air 2000, Monarch, Thomas Cook (JMC), Azorair. Some operators have up to 4 arrivals each, at various times, on a Tuesday from the UK. The Charter flights will be operating from April to the beginning of November.
Scheduled Flights to Chania You can fly into Chania (CHQ) any day of the week on scheduled flights which depart the UK from Gatwick / Manchester and Birmingham. Scheduled flights from Gatwick are operated by B.A. / Olympic and Aegean and fly into Athens where you will change onto the Olympic flight direct to Chania which takes approx. 35 minutes. There are numerous flights from Athens to Chania during the day – every day.
Charter Flights to Heraklion Direct charter flights into Heraklion arrive mainly on TUESDAYS and FRIDAYS from Bristol / Birmingham / Bournemouth / Cardiff / Glasgow / Gatwick / Stanstead / Manchester and Newcastle. There are some Charter Airlines who also fly into Heraklion on Mondays, Thursday and Sundays but the best availability will be on a TUESDAY and a FRIDAY. Although Heraklion is not the nearest Airport to our Villas, it may be a preferable arrival point especially from some UK regional airports. We will still meet you and provide transport or arrange your Car Hire booking to be waiting for you on arrival. If you are able to book from a UK regional airport, all well and good, as we are sure you will prefer to travel along the Cretan coastline rather than a UK motorway to London.
Scheduled Flights To Heraklion You can fly into Heraklion (HER) any day of the week on scheduled flights which operate mainly from Gatwick / Manchester and Birmingham. These flights fly into Athens where you can change to many of the daily Olympic flights into either Heraklion or Chania. You may book any Scheduled flight into Athens from any UK regional airport and then change to Olympic or Cronus Aegean for the 35 minute flight into either Chania or Heraklion.
An Alternative ! Catch any Scheduled flight from any UK airport into Athens International. Take the number 019 bus (or taxi) to the port (Pireaus) and board one of the many, daily or overnight, ferries to Chania – now, there's a different way to arrive. Yes, we will even meet you on the dockside!!

Guestbook for Villa Ostria Elafonisi
Die Villa liegt in einer traumhaften Lage - direkt vor Ihnen das Meer. Design-klassikes Haus von Kreta - gemutliche und funktionale Zimmern - sehr gut gepflegt und vergewaltet - ein gemütliches Zuhause . genau wie die Beschreibung auf der Website. Die besten Momente hatten wir bei Sonnenuntergang - am Spa ein Getränk zu genießen - Jacuzzi ist fantastisch und entspannend, die Sonne die ins Meer fallt - eine Atemberaubende Ansicht. Wir haben den Sonnenuntergang auf unserem letzten Besuch in Santorini gesehen - aber ohne Frage so schon wie der Sonnenuntergang von der Terrasse der Villa der einzigartig ist -unvergesslichen magisches Erlebnis – Der Pool groß im üppigen Grün gelegen und der wichtigste Teil geschutzt vom Einfluss vom Sommerwind -der Meltemi wie in Santorini - Livadia ist ein kleines Dorf mit echten Menschen und ein ausgezeichnetes Fischer Vassilis - der uns frischen Fisch nach Hause bringt, sobald er aus dem Schiff stiess - auch der Besitzer der einzigen Gaststätte im Dorf Giannis - immer mit gutem Essen und verwohnt uns bis zum Ende mit eisgekühlter Raki. Der Dienst der Villa geliestet von Alberto, sehr gut, sauber hohen Standard . Elafonissi ausgezeichneter Strand denn wir fast täglich besuchen ist nur 15 Minuten gelegen von der villa - in der Regel besser morgens und dann mittags den Strandt zu verlassen, wenn eine grosse Zahl von Touristen aus Chania kommen, Nachmittag am Pool und natürlich den Spa am Sonnenuntergang benutzen - aber auch ein Besuch nach Balo ist wert, eine große Landschaft mit schönen Stränden - fahrt mit dem Boot von Kissamos - Wir hatten eine sehr gute Woche - Urlaub, Erholung und Entspannung, das Leben genießen, als wären wir Millionäre - war der beste Urlaub dass wir hatten in den letzten Jahren.

Booking arrangements were straightforward. Finding the villa itself was not difficult (despite forgetting the map forwarded by the owner). Just ask some local villagers and/or shopkeepers. You'll probably be invited in for some raki and sweets anyways!!!
The villa's locations is perfect for getaways. Very peaceful with awesome views. Rooms are well appointed. It is well maintained and cleaned out everyday. Self catering facilities are complete with utensils. Perhaps if arriving early, a visit to the supermarkets in Chania or Kissamos beforehand may be advised. In any case, there is staff on standby to assist capably. Alternatively, arrangements may be made for catered meals of local produce and recipes (awesome lamb!!!). The pool and adjacent bbq pit was well utilised by us. Perfect for alfresco dining. Alternatively, the terrace overlooking the sea is perfect for more balmy nights.
If isolation gets too much, there is free internet access with broadband. We had a ps2 hooked up to the tele! Local sights are stunning with rugged terrain aplenty. A car is essential however. Can't tell you about the beach as we spent most time travelling to other beaches nearer to the towns. Guess it would have been just as amazing.
