OUR REVIEW

You land at Heraklion airport and in half an hour you will be in your villa - it's so easy.

Convenient - minutes from the airport; having all the facilities you need; with private pools; allowing you to be at the beach with the kids in 3 minutes and within 20 minutes at aquariums, water parks, museums, archaeological sites and most of the things anyone in your group may want to do while in Crete.
A very practical and comfortable solution to an enjoyable family holiday.

Twelve earth-tone painted villas, softened in feel with gardens plentifully planted with flowers and shrubs. There is also a communal pool and restaurant (perhaps the children will like this for socialising). These are comfortable smart-functional modern villas, 3 minutes from the sand and shingle beaches and a few cafes, in a relatively less crowded area of the beach extending from Heraklion airport.

Comfort is under your control in the bedrooms which have the clever feature of using double-sided mattresses - one side offers a hard texture, the other soft, to suit your preference. After a good night's sleep if golf is your game - the Crete golf club is less than a 10 minute car drive away and if you'd rather read while someone else tees off, the clubhouse is a pleasant place to read, have a drink and enjoy the scenery.

Usually these days, there is someone in the family who must, even on holiday, stay connected - there is free ADSL internet connection (including a PC in each villa) & WiFi.
