Wonderful Ladies Mini Break, with all you could wish for and much more!
Villa Mavrikiano was perfect in everyway. Being the end Villa, the views were breathtaking; the Villa was very private too. Us 5 ladies had a fantastic time. Being only a group of 4 villas we had stunning views, the pool was a great size for a dip and to lay on the lilo’s. The pool terrace was perfect; you would get the occasional ant/s, which was to be expected in a hot country. We felt very safe and there was still plenty of room for 5 ladies to move around in the Villa. The Villa is very well equipped, lovely modern bathrooms and bedrooms with air conditioning. Very clean and tidy…. spotless. All in all very comfortable and modern in comparison to some Villas we had stayed in before.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful from the management company to the locals in Elounda. We spent the first 2 days in the Villa after only venturing out to the local supermarket, Lidls, where you can grab bargain food and wine, so we stocked up. Day 3 we visited Babel’s in the town where you can get great food at a great price. The Ferryman in the Evening was also a wonderful dining experience on the waters edge. We would also recommend the very traditional taverna just below the Villa’s, very small, quaint but very Greek. You can have a wonderful meal there, value for money, with a great atmosphere,
When not driving we walked, the small but steep hill is a great way to work of the food and if you want to take a less strenuous walk you can turn right after the small steep hill and head down an alternative route (past the in Mavrikiano, the small café / shop with fantastic views) which can take you through the winding lanes to the town of Elounda. Or if you are really lazy the Mercedes taxis will take you up to the Villa from the town, you may just have to persuade them, as it is a short trip for them to do.
All in all for a short break we had a brilliant time and hope to return back again soon for a longer period of time. Would certainly recommend for groups, couples and families!
