About this property
Villa Afroditi in Cretan nature
Villa Afroditi is named after the ancient Greek goddess who represents beauty and pleasure. The villa is located in the heavenly peaceful and safe village Pagkalochori, surrounded by olive trees (the ultimate symbol in Greek myths), lemon, orange, tangerine and several other types of trees, fruits, aromatic local herbs (such as “diktamo”) and flowers. In a spacious and well-cared garden which gives the sense of freedom and comfort our field could easily be considered as a real Cretan nature jewel! The house is ideal for relaxing, unforgettable holidays for you, your family or friends, with a comfortable outdoor area for children and chances for viewing exceptional sunsets!
NOTE: There are two more independent villas in the same place. The swimming pool is shared.
