Zorbas Studios and Apartments in Agia Pelagia
A few meters from the main beach, the shops and the restaurants you can find Zorbas Studios and Apartments. All the rooms in this complex have satelite tv, airconditioning, a kitchen, a safe box and a balcony with table and chairs. Some of the rooms have a seaview and some of them look over a quiet little street. Zorbas has also got and internet corner exclusively for its visitors. Prices in 2006 start at 28 euro for a studio and 30 euro for an apartment in low season. If you book here my advice is to ask for a room / apartment on the front with a seaview. Large parts of the back of the building don't have much of a view because of a large grape-tree and other plants growing over the building.

The Agios Pavos Hotel and Kavos Melissa in Agios Pavlos - Crete
Agios Pavlos is only a very small village and perfect for a "get away from everything and everyone holiday". As I already wrote there is not much for rent in the village so there is no chance that it will be very busy, probably also in high season and especially in the evenings when the day-visitors have gone home again. If you like this then you can for example stay in the Agios Pavlos Hotel. The Agios Pavlos Hotel offers a warm welcome to all guests, with 2 buildings to choose from and a variety of rooms - there is something for everyone - and for everyone's budget!

Villa Sophia's House in Aspro near Almirida Beach (Apokoronas - Crete).
This lovely intimate villa is situated on a hill near the seaside resort of Almirida. We stayed here in September 2008 and we absolutely loved it. It was cozy and comfortable and the views from the terraces and the pool were fantastic. The villa had everything you could wish for: amazing views from the terraces and the pool, a beautiful bathroom, a living space with comfortable couches, a dining table and chairs and three bedrooms with extra large extra comfortable beds with loads of pillows. The beds were over two meters long because I could fit in without any problems and without my feet sticking out (yes people, I am a tall, tall guy). I loved this place because it felt so homely and everybody was feeling so happy in it. It makes you want to buy your own villa on the island.

Old Fountain Villas - Galatas - Crete
Palia Vrisi is the name of the area where the villas are situated. It means "old fountain" and this is because the people that live in Galatas and around used to come here for their water.

They are situated in a very green area near the villages of Galatas and Stalos, not far away from the town of Chania on the route to Kissamos Kastelli. The owner of the villas is Helen and she is very friendly and her english is perfect! There are three different villas on the estate and Helen and her husband also have a house there.

The most beautiful house on Crete - Villa Pantazis (near Rethimnon)

At the end of the enormous living room the wooden roof which is shaped with complete tree trunks is about 7 meters high with a big chandelier hanging from it: really impressive.

Crete Hotels: CretaSun Apartments in Makrigialos
Makrigialos is a cozy fishermens village in the south of Crete, with nice taverna's and beautiful beaches. Tourist industry is not over-developped here, allthough there is some life in the village. There are no ugly concrete buildings though like you will for instance encounter them in Malia or Chersonissos. In this way the village has maintained its authenticity. In Makrigialos you can find the CretaSun Apartments, which are each 70 m2 large, some with a beautiful view of the harbour, the beach and the mountains. The apartment complex is situated on top of a hill at the edge of the bay. A short walk and some stairs will bring you to the main beach and the taverna's. On the west side of the village is another more quiet beach and there are many more great beaches in the area.

Offering spacious apartments with views of the sea and the mountains, this property is in the centre of the traditional village of Makrigialos on the South-East Coast of Crete. Just 30 metres from the beach and restaurants, the accommodation is fully-equipped and furnished to be ideal for all-year-round holidays, benefiting from the climate at the most southern point of Europe. There is also a large, private parking area. A truly good destination choice for families, the village is built across the sands, and there are many wonderful and quiet beaches around it. The main beach is full of people in summer time and there are water sports, bars, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and souvenir shops.

Villa Renata in Megala Chorafia: deceptively large and luxurious. The perfect get away.
Pictures do not do this villa justice: you have to see it and experience it. One of my favorites ever. It is an absolute gem and also the perfect get away from it all. The people that own it have turned it into something very special. We visited this beautiful villa in the Apokoronas in October 2008. It is deceptively large: I estimate it is about 175 m2. Downstairs there are three bedrooms (2 doubles and one twin). The double rooms each have their own balcony and the twin room has a door leading to the patio in front of the pool. The last room has a private bathroom with a shower and toilet and there is also a small study incorporated. All the bedrooms have a tv and there is airconditioning. On the ground floor is also one of the most tasteful bathrooms that you have ever seen, with a big bath, double wash basins, a toilet and a washing machine.

Villa Aetos Vigla in Milatos - one of the largest private villas in Crete.
Behind a big iron fence just outside of the village of Milatos lies one of the largest private villas of the island of Crete: the Villa Aeotos Vigla. Set on the foot of a hill it overlooks the village of Milatos with its churches and its traditional stone houses, and the lower situated small tourist resort Milatos at the Beach with a choice of taverna's and a super market. The house is impressive and it has 6 balconies (all of them with a sea view, 4 of them are quite large), a large landscaped garden with 2 stone barbeques and a 100 m2 pool. On top of the house is the enormous roof terrace with a 360 degrees panorama. The villa is detached and situated in a quiet spot. The swimming pool is at the back of the house where you are not overlooked. In order to get to the villa Aetos Vigla you drive through the village of Milatos and take the road towards the Milatos cave (there are signs). The villa is the largest building in the area of Milatos so it is also easy to spot and you can see it from afar.

Villa Mertiza in Mirtos
The southeast of Crete is the most quiet part of the island of Crete, where you can regularly bump into an empty beach, and yet there are a number of pleasant coastal villages with a bit of life such as his Mirtos, Makrigialios and Analipsi. One of the places in the southeast that we discovered, Mirtos, was a nice surprise and our attention was drawn to Villa Mertiza. It is a complex with 22 large apartments and studios and is run by people from Holland. We took a look around at Villa Mertiza in 2008 and met with Dick and Siemon that run the place. It all looked very nice. It is also a popular place to stay so it is wise to make a reservation (when we were there in October there was just one studio free that we could take a look at).

Villa Lambros in Tertsa
Nearby Mirtos in the southeast lies the village of Tertsa. It is very quiet and with great beaches, that are also ideal for the naturists. In the village itself is the large sand beach with sunbeds and umbrella's and on either side there are a large number of beaches. The ones on the west side of the village are super, quiet and excellent for naturism. Dick and Siemon from Villa Mertiza (see above) run a small apartment building here, Villa Lambros. The village is very small, with 70 residents, and yet with a couple of tavernas and a minimarket - one of the tavernas, Lambros Taverna, is very, very good and the people are so friendly and hospitable. If you like to spend a couple of days in real peace and quiet (except for the occasional dog bark) in a place and enjoy the sun, the nature and of course a delicious glass of ouzo on the balcony this is a spot for you. No rush, everything relaxed and no noise.
