The Crete region
Crete is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and is the largest and most southerly of the Greek islands with over 1000kms of coastline.
It is the birthplace of Europe's earliest known civilisation, the Minoans, and hosts an array of cultures and history for the explorer. Its traditions and character have been created over many generations. There are superb mountain ranges, large coastal plains, secluded coves and gorges, and long sandy beaches to be experienced by visitors to this beautiful island.
The inhabitants are noted for their warm welcome as they share a bottle of Raki as a goodwill gesture of their hospitality.
Crete really is magical and has a climate which is one of Europe's best. Enjoy all that it has to offer and you will want to return time and time again!
Makrigialos area
Makrigialos ('Long Beach') occupies its own bay in South East Crete, 25km (30 minutes drive) east of Ierapetra, along a coastline of secluded coves, and 35km south of Sitia in the Lassithi region. It is easily accessible from both of Crete's airports at Heraklion and Sitia, with its picturesque harbour and promenade, waterside tavernas, restaurants and cafes, the village is lively but still unspoilt.
Its beautiful bay, long sandy beach and crystal clear water are matched by the friendly local hospitality. Behind lie rolling hills with delightful panoramic views from out of the way villages where you can experience genuine ethnic cuisine. The many nearby attractions include the gorges of Pefki, Dasaki and Pevrolakia, water-park at Ierapetra, day boat trip to nearby Lefki island, wine tasting at the Kaspa monastery and traditional Cretan evenings in Pefki. Makrigialos also plays host to a popular music festival in June.

The villa is excellent ~ everything that we expected (and our expectations were high!) We particularly enjoyed Diaskari Beach - good for snorkelling.

We enjoyed your villa, which we think must be one of the best situated, out of traffic with both sea and mountain view. The Villa was very nice indeed, and we appreciated the very high standard.Thank you for your help with rental car and everything. We are very satisfied with everything, and if we are going to Crete another time, we would like to rent it again. I brought some of your folders with me and will recommend your villa to family and friends here in Norway. If you wish, you may use me as a reference to other Scandinaves ....................Michael Riisoen, Norway
