Location:
This charming villa is located a stone’s throw from the sandy beaches of Tersanas village, in the north corner of the always-sunny Crete.
Recommended nearby restaurants serving mouth-watering traditional Greek dishes are the Sunset taverna in Tersanas (1.3 km) and the Irene tavern in Chorafakia (2.4 km).
Interesting sailing trips depart every day from the little harbour of the gorgeous beach of Maherida (500m), taking you to the best spots across the Chania Bay well as to impressive islands such as Thodoru and Lazaretta.
Along with the above sightseeing opportunities, keep in mind that the Akrotiri Peninsula has a number of unique archeological sites which are certainly worth a visit. Explore the caves of Stavros, Arkalospilio and Arkaudospilius, and discover the fascinating history lying behind the Gouverneto and Saint John the Hermit monasteries.
A visit to Chania, which also hosts an airport, is equally recommended. The city, that has seen many civilisations come and go over thousands of years of settlement, from Minoans to Romans, Byzantine to Ottoman, this rich history has carved out a unique and mysterious town.
Most of the restaurants, museums, churches and craft shops centre around the gorgeous Venetian harbour, which represents a window into the past Turkish and Venetian architecture that has otherwise largely been destroyed by war. Watching the sunset past the old lighthouse is a truly unmissable experience, but the area offers a different picturesque aesthetic at any given time of day.
The dramatic, mountainous interior of Crete is also well worthy of exploration, remaining unspoilt and largely unchanged for hundreds of years. Incredible churches, and sleepy little villages are hidden round every bend as you wind your way across the sun baked landscape.

About the area
Crete, an island in Greece, captivates visitors with its rich blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. As one of the largest Greek islands, Crete is known for its diverse landscapes that include stunning beaches, rugged mountains, lush vineyards and olive groves.
History enthusiasts will be intrigued by Crete's ancient Minoan sites, particularly the Palace of Knossos. While there is debate among historians about whether it can be considered Europe's oldest city or more accurately an elaborate palace complex, it remains a significant archaeological site. The island's archaeological museums in Heraklion and Chania house impressive collections of artifacts from this period.
The traditional villages of Crete offer insight into the island's culture and way of life. Visitors can explore charming old houses, Byzantine churches, and Venetian fortresses. The Cretan cuisine is another highlight; local tavernas serve delicious dishes made with fresh local produce, accompanied by the renowned Cretan olive oil.
Crete also boasts some of Greece's most beautiful beaches. From the pink sands of Elafonisi to the crystal-clear waters of Balos Lagoon, these are perfect spots for swimming, sunbathing or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
Nature lovers will appreciate Crete's diverse flora and fauna. The Samaria Gorge National Park offers a challenging hike through one of Europe's longest gorges while the Lasithi Plateau is known for its picturesque windmills and fertile fields.
Cretans are known for their hospitality and zest for life; their traditional music and dance are integral parts of local festivals which visitors are always welcome to join.
In essence, Crete offers an enriching travel experience that combines historical exploration with natural beauty and cultural immersion. Its unique charm makes it a worthwhile destination for any traveler.
