Kreta Hav for dine fødder

Very easy 50-60 minutes (max) pretty direct car journey from Heraklion to this villa. If you want space for a couple of families, easy access to some decent local beaches, restaurants/bars etc, a stunning elevated 180 degree view of blue sea and mountains and your own crystal clear pool - this is the one. Just had 10 days here in August (2018) and were delighted with the choice. Eleni the owner is a wonderful, friendly host, the villa is extremely well proportioned and designed, all clean white walls inside and out, large communal area first floor and two x double/two x double single rooms upstairs all nice size and air conditioned. Each double/single pair has their own bathroom/shower. Supermarkets available in Agios for food, a 10 minute ride away. You will need a rental car for getting around. Note that Crete is quite hilly so recommend paying a bit extra for a car with some oomph to get up to the hills and up/down from beaches. This villa has an unbeatable gorgeous view that you will happily sit and look at for hours, glass of Cretan wine in hand. Great for kids, our 10 year old never wanted to leave, but like most villas in Crete there a few steps and it is positioned on a hill (there is safety fencing so no material concerns) but the more hands on parents out there would need to watch the very young, under 4s. Local sea water is clear, clean, lovely temperature and jelly fish free. All in all can't recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed.
