Location and surroundings of object
Place and location of the accommodation
The villa is located about 2.8 km from the idyllic village of Agia Galini (south coast of Crete). Here you will find numerous restaurants and taverns, shopping facilities, shops for daily needs and services.
Description of the place
The beach and the beautiful harbour town of Agia Galini are only five minutes away by car and offer dozens of excellent tavernas, restaurants and kafenions ... more than enough choice for anyone filled with Crete's inimitable warmth and friendliness.
The larger towns of Tymbaki and Mires (10 and 20 minutes drive respectively) offer an excellent selection of shops and have weekly markets with wonderful fresh produce and a variety of daily necessities. These towns also have extensive medical facilities.
Lovely and quiet beaches are nearby along the south coast and many within a quarter to half hour's drive.
Try Kommos or Matala, Trio Petra or Agios Giorgios, or take a trip to the fantastic Samaria Gorge to start a walk in a stunning piece of nature's beauty.
And don't forget to explore history with visits to one of the world's oldest civilisations (the Minoans), many sites and excavations. The nearby Palace of Phaestos or the ruined city of Gortyn are only 20-30 minutes away.
In addition, Agia Galini offers great boat trips to neighbouring beaches, bays and small islands, as well as to the two Paximadia islands floating sublimely in Messara Bay (visible from your villa window). Preveli Beach Lagoon, with its two monasteries and small palm forest, is a delight and well worth boarding a boat for. Alternatively, drive there ... it's no more than 40 minutes by car.
Other activities
Crete offers plenty to keep a large family busy and fully relaxed on either a short or long holiday, but here in the south things are a little more relaxed.
Lounging or playing in the villa's private pool or just spending the day on a quiet nearby beach are the preferred choices of many of our past guests. They tell us about their plans, but always find everything they need and relax very quickly.
Dining out in Agia Galini is simply superb. With lots of choice, you will be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. You will find everything you need and much more.
Local events
Agia Galini hosts an annual Greek music festival (usually in August) and Easter in Greece is a time of great celebrations and festivals.

Great vacation
What can one say, simply great.
We had a wonderful vacation. A very beautiful house, super location. For those who want privacy but don't want to be too far from the beach, this is perfect.
After an eventful day or a day at the beach, we made ourselves comfortable on the terrace and used the pool in the twilight.
Just relax and enjoy. In the mornings, the first thing was to go out on the balcony and enjoy the view, breathtaking. One can only recommend this villa.
The contact with the landlords is friendly and everything went smoothly.
Thank you very much for allowing us to be guests there and a warm greeting to Jimmy as well.

Beautiful house with skimming pool in a quiet area
The house is fully furnished, everything you need is there.
The house is in a quiet location and with a beautiful view, a 10 minute drive from Agia Galini.
The only negatieve point is the terrible Road to the house.
But it was a fantastisch holiday.
The owners are also always accessible.
