Offering garden views, Alagni Cretan Resort in Alagni features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a garden, a bar and a shared lounge. There is a private entrance at the villa for the convenience of those who stay. The villa offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Upon arrival, Sophia treated us to some homemade lemonade, then George helped grab our bags and showed us to our beautiful villa; Large and comfortable with a great deck overlooking the countryside. Toiletries & slippers in bathroom were appreciated. We elected to have dinner made for us the first night and it was delicious and plentiful! Then shared some raki with our hosts. Breakfast the next morning was excellent….enough that we didn’t need lunch any of the days during our stay. Read for a couple of hours poolside each day- quiet & relaxing. George and Sophia are warm, generous, hardworking and fun to converse with. They did everything possible to show us and tell us about the area and culture. We started out as guests but due to our interaction over the few days, we left as friends. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your villas and treating us as special guests. Your friendship was a highlight of our trip!

Located in Rethymno Town, 200 metres from Koumbes Beach and 1.7 km from Archaeological Museum of Rethymno, Volakas Beachfront Suites provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. This villa features a pool with a view and a garden. Museum of Ancient Eleftherna is 27 km away and Psiloritis National Park is 47 km from the villa. A real gem of a place, full of character, in a great location. Just outside the the entrance door, you have a cool pool. Open the door on the other side of the living room and you are on a terrace with steps down to the sea. A perfect place to relax and unwind, with decent restaurants within a ten minute walk (catering mostly to locals, Galera was our favourite). Athena was a vey helpful and gracious host, we reported a problem with hot water late on the first evening and by the next morning it was fixed. She even brought us a few vegetables from her garden to make up for the inconvenience. Shops are close and convenient (there is a small shop next door, and a bigger market about ten minutes walk away, towards the bus station). The home was well-equipped, it met all of our needs. Overall, of all the lovely spots we have found in Greece over the years, this was our favourite.

Boasting a patio with sea views, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden, Mythos villas can be found in Damnoni, close to Damnoni Beach and 32 km from Archaeological Museum of Rethymno. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The villa has private entrance. We spent two wonderful weeks at Mythos Villas Damnoni (Villa No. 5) and enjoyed every moment. The villa is beautifully decorated and very well equipped, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. The private pool was a highlight and was cleaned daily. The kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer and a Nespresso machine. A washing machine is also available, which is especially convenient when traveling with children. Fresh towels were provided every three days, and all windows and doors have mosquito screens. The villa also has air conditioning, reliable WiFi, and private parking for a rental car. Its location is excellent: just a short walk to Damnoni Beach and the promenade with restaurants, and only a few minutes’ drive to Plakias. Communication with Evangelia and Oreo Travel was always easy and helpful whenever we had questions, which made the stay even more pleasant. Overall, the villa was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We highly recommend Mythos Villas for families and couples looking for a relaxing holiday in Crete.
