Accessibility
We are easy to find off a main road (after the EKO garage) and the small access road is not yet tarmaced, but is short and only a little bumpy but opens up into our private car park where you have your own marked space (park outside villa's side entrance). Safe fenced gardens and pool for children. Terraced gardens with many steps mean that this villa is not suitable for wheelchairs or people with walking difficulties.
Outside
The pool is shared with only 2 other villas, they are mostly left empty. Numerous terraces giving you many places to have your BBQ - with umbrellas and sunchairs provided for your own private use. Large new metal BBQ. Various floats/toys for pool kept in cupboard in kitchen for guests to use. Solar light at entrance to villa (above steps). Also side light over car park area.
Covered veranda with table and chairs (situated outside kitchen patio doors) with superb views - ideal shady place during day and also to dine alfresco in the warm evenings and watch the boats come and go in Souda Bay.
Car parking for car next to villa on gravelled parking area.
Coast/Beach
Nearest beach is 20 minutes walk down to Almyrtha and it has sandy main beach with a second section ideal for snorkelling. Easy to walk along beach to Kalives village - another sandy beach and takes about 20 minutes. For a change of pace you can drive to Georgopoulos which is a good road and takes about 20 minutes, this beach is also sandy and there are many shops and tavernas.
Special interest holidays

Travel
Two airports -`both Chania (30 minutes drive away) taxis are cheap (approx 30 euros to villa) and Heraklion airport is 90 minutes away. Both have a good main road to connect them to Plaka via village of Kalives and Almyrtha. Port of Souda is half an hour's drive away and ferry comes to and from Athens daily. Monarch regularly flies into Chania (30 mins to villa & also Easyjet now flies into Heraklion (90 mins drive to villa). Flisvos car hire will drop cars and pick up from both airports.
Distances
Nearest village is a few minutes walk to Plaka with a mini market and tavernas. Chania is main town and is a 30 minute drive and this is where airport is. Plaka is 20 minutes walk to Almyrtha beach and shops and small tavernas. This is where Flisvos car hire shop can be found. Kalives (15 minutes drive) is next beach and busier, it is a small fishing village, with tavernas and many small shops - with butchers, chemist, bakers and internet shops. On noticeboard in entrance are information sheets.
Further details
Kalives has plenty of watersports including sailing, scuba diving, parasailing, canoeing and sea fishing, it is the best place to go for banks and bigger shops, such as chemists, bakers, butchers, laundry, internet cafes and large INKA supermarket at end of High Street. Car hire is in Almyrtha and there is a small bank there also. Internet shops are mainly in Kalives. This is easier to get to by car but it is walkable to, but if you are carrying shopping it is better to drive.

Guest comments
Kalimera Marie, We are home now, the 2 weeks flew by. Just to say a big thank you, we all had a lovely time, the villa was great and in a stunning spot. It was very hot, and the walk up from the beach at times was difficult in the heat, but worth being high up for the views. I was brave and got a car for 3 days so we got about a bit, but it was so nice not to do anything, the kids loved swimming in the pool at midnight!
Thanks for all the help and advice beforehand, just wish we could have stayed longer. Best Wishes Colleen, Jessie, Katy and Andrew Kalimera Marie!
Kalimera Marie, Indeed everything went perfectly. The villa is gorgeous (much better than the pictures in fact! I took some myself and loads of the surrounding areas so if you’d like any I’ll be happy to send them over) and Lucy loved the whole trip.The weather was brilliant-the temperature it was topping high 30’s – low 40’s every time so we were chuffed with that! We tripped out a lot. Rhys Vincent
