Notes: Your villa is in a beautiful setting with mountains behind and Griffin Vultures nesting above. The views towards Spinalonga are wonderful and for early risers the sun comes out of the sea! It is a great location for sightseeing,walking, nature or just relaxing by the pool. Crete is full of archeological sites and the famous site of Knossos is near Heraklion. There is a spectacular golf course 45 minutes away. For the young there are sandy beaches as near as Elounda, only 5 minutes away and there are water parks and playgrounds. The villages above Plaka take you back in time to the old traditional Crete, with unspoilt cafeneons and typical village life. For those who like to explore there are seemingly endless roads and tracks to enjoy. The towns of Elounda and Agios Nikolaos are also close for thise who like to sample night life and the numerous bars and restaurants. A chance to have a memorable holiday!
