They are designed to be one with their natural surroundings and make the best use of space and materials. The fine sandy beach and turquoise sea in front are visible throughout the villa and freely accessible.

Location

In the north of the province, you will find Rethymnon itself; a beautiful port town situated exactly between the two airports of Heraklion and Chania. About half an hour’s drive south lies the village of Plakias, where the villas are situated. Plakias is a vibrant seaside resort with a beautiful bay and long views across the horizon. Sunsets are magical, also across the village, and at night the stars show themselves beautifully.

It’s a typical Cretan village, with a lively boulevard, delicious taverns, and of course the famous Greek hospitality. For sea lovers, it’s a small paradise, with a long sandy beach of 1.3 km, two diving schools, water sports and boat rentals. There are also many other quiet beaches in the direct vicinity and it’s also a 15 minutes drive from the palm beach of Preveli.

The mountains, the beach, the sun, and the sea ensure that everyone can enjoy themselves in their own way. There are also a number of high-quality taverns and restaurants to enjoy in the direct vicinity of the villas.

Crete is the largest, best accessible island of Greece, which is always a few degrees warmer, and welcomes tourists from early spring to late autumn. The rental of this type of villa is therefore very popular. You can benefit from a sophisticated and professional maintenance and rental concept that can offer you years of carefree, the letting handled for you, without having to worry about it yourself. This way the villa will pay for itself and you will have the ultimate holiday destination, even in winter, because Crete has the best climate in the Mediterranean.
