Villa Ilios is part of a collection of stone-built villas with panoramic views over the quaint fishing village of Mochlos, with the pretty tavernas and beach below being a 3-minute drive or a 10-minute walk away. This two-bedroom villa is a great choice for two couples traveling together. The comfortable interiors of the villa are decorated in a rustic cottage style, complimenting the rugged beauty of the landscape outside. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the terrace overlooking the sea while from summer 2023, guests can take a dip in a private swimming pool outside the villa. The local area Unknown to tourists, Mochlos offers an authentic taste of Cretan culture. Waterfront tavernas serve the freshest fish imaginable, the locals are welcoming, and the natural beauty of the area is astounding. Visit to enjoy life in the slow lane for a little while. However, the Mochlos area is home to one of the densest concentrations of Minoan remains, so Villa Ilios is a great base for history lovers wishing to explore a hidden side of Crete. A tiny island settlement is just offshore of Mochlos beach and the UNESCO Sitia Global Geopark is filled with gorges, beaches and more.
