Perfect Villa near Kissamos

What a find! A Villa with a private pool in a fabulous location to visit some amazing places and the bonus of a beautiful beach that is only a 15 minute stroll away which we had to ourselves most mornings. What a fabulous start to the day swimming in the crystal clear water. Dan and Lea are wonderful hosts and on hand to help with anything, the Villa is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need. I am a keen swimmer and the Villa pool was wonderful, i took advantage of swimming anytime I could especially in the evening as the temperature was heated like a warm bath so relaxing. The gardens and olive trees that surround the villa are stunning with lovely places to eat only a short walk away. Thank you for a wonderful holiday we highly recommend your villa to all.

Pretty much perfect

We had a pretty much perfect week in Kaliviani. The villa is very well equipped, quiet, comfortable and has an excellent pool. The location feels very private. Dan and Lea are next door should you need anything and are helpful with local tips and advice, but otherwise unobstrusive - you wouldn't know they were there. Everything you could wish for in a holiday rental. Beaches... The local beach, a few minutes walk away across the fields, is very quiet but just right for a quick dip in the sea with a small cafe nearby for a cold beer. Three of Europe's top beaches are a short drive away; Elafonissi is beautiful, and although an hour away the drive over the mountains is alone worth the effort. But aim to get there early, we arrived around 9am to enjoy the place before the coaches arrive. Balos again absolutely beautiful. 30 minutes slow driving over an unmade road with great views and lots of goats. Then I guess a mile walk down a steep track (steeper on the way back) but well worth the effort. Again arrive early, aim for 9am as the ferries offload from noon. Fallasarna, our favourite. Just 15 minutes drive away and without the tourist crowds. It's a long beach with lots of beachside tavernas. Our preference being the little beach below the Blue Orange bar. Tavernas in Kaliviani... We tried three, Agarathos, Erofili and Grambousa. All were very good value (always go with the local wine) and good food - which in our experience is true for most of Crete. We thought Agarathos the best, friendly and authentic. We ate there three times. Erofili, also very good, a little way out of the village, but with lovely views and food. Grambousa was good, but a little slick and the service not as friendly. On our trip we spent a couple of nights in Chania, which we'd certainly recommend as a perfect start to a holiday in Western Crete (we stayed at the Hanim). We're certain that you would enjoy a stay here. Trev and Sarah

Excellent accommodation, pool, & surroundings

Listing was v accurate. Villa is spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped and a well thought-out layout. Set amongst olive groves, we had a peaceful and relaxing 2 weeks. It was a treat to have Dan and Lea next door - very friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive! Within easy reach of several restaurants, bars, small villages , unspoilt Kissamos town - food, drink, and sight-seeing +shopping catered for. Beautiful beaches nearby, fantastic scenery - and the weather was excellent. Cretan people are very friendly and most speak English, plus other languages. We would definitely recommend the Villa - for adults, and for families with children of all ages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing rural villa

The villa is set in olive groves in a quiet and rural location. The listing accurately describes the property and we enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable week in this well presented and maintained villa. The location is ideal for getting out and about to explore the area and it's a treat to be able to go back to the villa which has a very homely feel to it with all facilities you could wish for. The owners are onsite if needed but are very unobtrusive and leave you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Lea

Dan and Lea.
We first came to Crete over 30 years ago and fell in love with the place and people.
We have returned every summer since and at last in 2006 we bought our own little piece of paradise.
We moved here in 2009 and have made many new friends to add to the many that we already had.
We love the peace of rural living and the friendliness of the local people but we also like the advantage of not being isolated. There are many lovely beaches nearby and Kissamos, our nearest town, has many restaurants to sample and coffee shops perfect for just watching the world go by.

Why they chose this property

We bought the land in 2006 and had our home built in 2007.
We moved here in 2009 to our little piece of paradise.
We love the peaceful rural life and are getting to grips with the vegetable garden although the locals do keep us supplied with fruit and veg.
Although we are not in the centre of the tourist area everything is only a short drive away giving us the best of both worlds being able to return at the end of a lovely day to the peace of the villa and the pool,

What makes this property unique

Kalokairi is set in an unspoilt peaceful location with views of the mountains and sea. It is close to the beach and the lovely small village of Kaliviani with the 3 restuarants/tavernas and the mini market only a 10 min walk away. It is 4 min drive to the main road that gives access to exploring the western area of Crete with Kissamos close by and the lovely beaches of Falasana and Elaphonisi. The villa is regulated by the Greek Tourist Authority licence no: 1042K92003064801
