The Crete region
Situated on the fantastic 6km sandy beach near georgopoulis and less than 3km from the fabulous Lake Kournas, Villa Grace has it all. A walk down to the village bakery for freshly baked bread or a short ride to georgopoulis for restaurants and bars...it really is up to you.
Rethymnon with it's fantastic venetian architecture,massive choice of shops and numerous bars and tavernas is only 20 minutes away. Visit the harbour in Chania, a quiet taverna in Gerani enjoy a quiet drink, or drive into the mountains and enjoy a snack Greek mezes with the locals.
The mountains loom up high to the south and the cooling breeze is a welcome addition to the high summer temperatures. Crete is a sun lovers dream.
Rethymno / Cavros area
Easter in Crete is certainly an experience not to be missed.. Walking through the streets with the candles, the parades, a church service and then fireworks has it all. Turning the lamb on the spit is traditional and you are likely to be asked to join in.
Lake Kournas is the only freshwater lake on Crete, The waters shine the most spectacular turquoise you could ever see. Pedaloes allow you to swim or watch in awe the fresh water turtles. Lining the lake are numerous tavernas that serve splendid food and refreshments
Cavros has many shops, restaurants, a children's playground, butcher, baker and is within easy walking distance of the house.
Rethymnon has it all. Clubs, bars, restaurants, marina, port and lots of shops. Jewellery is popular in Crete and Chrissi Gallerou is one of the best. Tell them you know Philip & Esther and watch that special price become even less. The same at Taverna Loggia in the Old Town. Our friends are your friends...enjoy.
Visit Spili for the springs, consider the Samaria Gorge or if a little more idle drive south to Plakias. You pass through a fantastic gorge on this route and if interested in history Preveli monastery is a must. If you are feeling energetic visit palm beach near Preveli or drive another day to Heraklion and spend a day at the water park.
Crete, you can smell the herbs, the flora and fauna is breathtaking and the locals just love the British. Villa Grace...you will not be disappointed.
How to get there
Fly to either Chania or Heraklion International Airports with many carriers. Out of season think of flying to Athens and take advantage of daily flights to Crete. Ferries also available daily from Piraeus/mainland Greece. The holiday villa is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes from Heraklion or 40 minutes from Chania. Taxis available from both as is the local bus service which stops on the main highway close to the villa.
Car Hire available at the airport or in the village of Cavros which is very close to the villa. Arkadi car rental on 00302831029134 will arrange to either pick you up from the airport free of charge or leave you a car for immediate use on your arrival, which ever you prefer. Please mention Philip & Esther from Idyllic when you book. Taxis could be used for transport to surrounding areas but car hire recommended for this villa.
