Charming Villa Maria

Set on a hill in a rural community, offers a tranquil starting point for touring the island or just unwinding, with lovely views of the vineyards, rolling hills, and patchwork fields below. There is just one other villa nearby.

With a ten-minute drive to stores and tavernas, the homey setting is designed for unwinding days by the pool and evenings outside thanks to a well maintained garden, flower-shaded stone terrace, barbeque, and even a bread oven.

Knossos and the unspoiled beaches of the south coast are easily accessible, while Heraklion's attractions, including the renowned ancient museum, are less than 30 minutes distant.
