Home details
On the ground floor, the master bedroom features a king-size bed, offering both privacy and comfort, accompanied by a dedicated bathroom and separate W.C. The fully equipped kitchen, fitted with modern appliances, opens seamlessly into an elegant living area centered around a fireplace. A sculptural stool cleverly transforms into an additional single bed, providing space for one more guest if needed. The wooden dining table invites long, leisurely meals, while wide openings lead to a pergola-shaded veranda that flows naturally into the gardens.
Upstairs, two beautifully appointed bedrooms await, one with twin beds and one with a king-size bed, each boasting generous wardrobes, refined finishes, and intimate balconies. A spacious bathroom with a shower enhances the sense of luxury, while a small hall opens onto a pergola-covered veranda with a private Jacuzzi, perfectly framed by views of Lake Kournas and the deep blue Aegean.
The villa’s outdoor spaces define its character. The private swimming pool extends boldly toward the cliff’s edge, creating the sensation of floating above Crete’s rugged coastline. Expansive terraces provide sun loungers, shaded seating, and ample room for dining or gathering under the Mediterranean sky. A barbecue area conveniently near the pool makes outdoor cooking effortless and sociable.
Here, architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony, an elevated retreat where light, openness, and connection create an intimate and unforgettable experience.
Villa Eirini is part of an exclusive complex of three exquisite luxury villas offering breathtaking views, sophisticated design, and fully furnished interiors. Each villa comes with a private swimming pool and designated parking, ensuring an atmosphere of comfort, privacy, and relaxation.
Nestled in the traditional hillside village of Kournas, the complex overlooks the sparkling waters of Lake Kournas and the distant sea. Just 43 km from Chania and a short drive from the popular seaside resort of Georgioupolis, guests can enjoy its long sandy beaches, swimming, water sports, dining, and shopping with ease.

About the area
Almyrida, located on the northwest coast of Crete, Greece, is a serene seaside village that beckons travelers with its picturesque charm and tranquil atmosphere. This coastal haven is ideal for those seeking a blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and traditional Cretan culture.
The village's main attraction is its stunning beach, a crescent of fine sand and clear, shallow waters that make it perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The Blue Flag-awarded beach is well-organized, offering sun loungers, umbrellas, and a variety of water sports, including windsurfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Families particularly appreciate the safe environment for children to play and swim.
Almyrida's seaside promenade is lined with a selection of tavernas and cafes where visitors can indulge in fresh seafood and local Cretan dishes while enjoying the view of the Mediterranean Sea. The village's culinary offerings are a testament to the rich gastronomic heritage of the region, with olive oil, cheeses, and wines that are sure to delight any palate.
For those interested in history and archaeology, Almyrida does not disappoint. The surrounding area is dotted with ancient sites, including the ruins of Aptera, an important city-state of the Minoan and Roman eras. Visitors can explore the remnants of temples, Roman cisterns, and an ancient theater, all while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to explore beyond the beach. The region's rugged terrain is crisscrossed with trails that lead through olive groves, citrus orchards, and wildflower-strewn hillsides. Hiking or cycling in the area provides an excellent opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Crete up close.
Almyrida is also an excellent base for day trips to other attractions on Crete. The bustling city of Chania, with its Venetian harbor, historic old town, and vibrant markets, is just a short drive away. The awe-inspiring Samaria Gorge, a World Biosphere Reserve, offers a challenging yet rewarding trek through one of Europe's longest canyons.
In essence, Almyrida is a destination that offers a peaceful retreat with the comforts of modern amenities, set against a backdrop of timeless natural beauty and cultural richness. It's a place where one can unwind on the beach, savor the flavors of Crete, and immerse oneself in the island's storied past, all within the cozy embrace of a friendly village atmosphere.
