REVIEW SCORE

Aptera Villa Chania is a traditional, comfortable holiday villa near Chania on the island of Crete. The villa is just 4 km away from the sandy beach of Kalives, and just a few minutes’ drive away from the city of Chania. Two traditional tavernas, a mini-market are just outside your door and the ancient monastery and archaeological site of Aptera is a very short walk. Aptera Villa Chania is a two story stone structure close to the ancient city of Aptera, and one of the finest villas Chania has to offer. Aptera Villa Chania features a pool and is surrounded by a private lush and well-tended garden, and forms an oasis of comfort and relaxation and the amazing home base for Mediterranean Vacations. Chania is a beautiful location, becoming a important centre for international and Greek tourism ever since the 1970s, and is now considered one of the most famous tourist destinations in the Mediterranean.

About the Location

Greece, Crete, Chania

Aptera was an ancient city, now an archaeological site in western Crete, a kilometer inland from Souda Bay, and about 13km east of Chania in the municipality of Akrotiri. With its highly fortunate geographical position, the city-state used to be powerful from Minoan through Hellenistic times, when it gradually declined. Today one can enjoy an astounding view of the sea from high up and wander around the ruins of a declined civilization. There is a very important theatre to visit here which was entirely constructed with local limestone and is built at a natural cavity with an unblocked view of the White Mountains.

Situated in the most western part of Crete island, Chania is considered among the most picturesque cities of the island due to its beautiful architecture. It is a crossroad of many civilizations that have left their trails on the island. Chania has truly amazing places to visit, from secret villages and fabulous beaches to interesting historical sights. The most impressive beaches are Balos, Elafonissi and Falassarna, while there are innumerable other amazing beaches around its coastline, from organized resorts to totally secluded coves.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Here you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilizations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture. One of the most popular destinations of the country, Crete is the dream of a lifetime for millions of tourists.

Being among the top 20 tourist destinations worldwide, Greece is synonymous with 3 things: history and ancient civilization, amazing landscapes and top touristic destinations. Greece is so wealthy in culture and beauty that it never seems to be completely explored. Holidays in Greece is the ultimate experience all year round. It offers a great pallet of experiences; the warm sun, the crystal clear beaches, the dramatic nature, the rich culture and the renowned hospitality along with the unique culinary experience of the Mediterranean diet.

Excellent hospitality and lots to enjoy- shaded terraces and wonderful pool.

A wonderful house full of character and family history. A great mature garden completes the sense of tradition and a family home. Fabulous setting with amazing views and a terrace for every part of the day. 10 mins from restaurants. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday away from it all.

Lovely villa for our family vacation in Crete

The location is great - very quiet, but with access to a minimarket and some tavernas. Chania is a 20-30 minutes drive away from Aptera. Villa is very comfortable, and clean, with a spectacular pool, garden and views. The light and the scenery are very special. The host is super friendly and easy to communicate with. He had to wait for us until after midnight, because our flight had a delay and welcomed us personally, took his time. All in all we had a perfect vacation and would hopefully visit Crete and the villa again.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa.

The owners were very kind and helpful. We’d thoroughly recommend a stay here. The villa was very clean and contained everything we needed. We hope to return to this beautiful corner of Crete again soon.

A beautiful house in a peaceful location with an excellent swimming pool and garden

The house is beautiful and very tastefully decorated keeping it in character - no ugly modernization. It has a fantastic swimming pool, much better designed than the average pool, and bigger than expected. The garden is lovely with very interesting plants and excellent seating areas. The host is a lovely, friendly, and helpful person. We very much appreciated the little gifts of food and homemade products.

Stunning villa and helprful owners

Villa was just as wonderful as we had hoped and the owner was very accommodating on our arrival time and even sent us an email with lots of tips for things to do in Crete. Also a stones throw away from an incredible ancient ruin site with amphitheater and all! Perfect retreat for a relaxing holiday - definitely worth getting a rental car though.
