Further details
The Apokoronas region of Crete, where the villa is located, is an ideal spot for walking, bird watching and just general exploring. There are many points of interest including gorges, coves, caves, historical buildings/ruins and museums that illustrate the history of this part of the Mediterranean. Kokkino Chorio, also known as The Red Village, was used in the 1964 film Zorba the Greek. It also plays host to a cave which was used in World War II by the Nazis as an artillery spotting position. From this cave it is possible to see right over to Souda Bay. Souda Bay is home to the Navy and Airbase and we do see some fighter planes flying over the bay on practice days. You can often also see naval frigates and the occasional submarine in the bay. A great day out for the children lies about an hour's drive away at the fabulous water park.
Booking notes
As the nearest airport (Chania) operates the majority of its UK flights on Tuesdays, we only accept bookings on a Tuesday to Tuesday basis during high season. This fits in with the majority of our enquiries. Bookings can be made via phone or email. We require a 20% deposit to reserve dates and the balance will be due 8 weeks prior to your arrival. Any monies paid are non-refundable, so we recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance, to cover you in case you cancel for any reason.
