Fantastic stay

It was such an amazing holiday in Athina Villas. I stayed with my family, 5 people. It's a wonderful, peaceful place with amazing views. The apartment is well equipped to cook and spend some quality time. There's a nice pool and a patio for reading too. The garden is a pleasure to see and there are some friendly cats around. The cats are polite and didn't bother us. The host is super nice, she lent us some salt for cooking and gave us recommendations for the visit. We definitely felt we treated ourselves by staying there.

Fantastic quiet place. Friendly and generous hosts. Forget AlI Inclusive hotels.

A charming, very intimate place, tranquillity and omnipresent cats (opinion of my 17 years son right after arrival: ‘I am in paradise’). Surrounded by exotic plants in a beautiful garden and a pool often exclusive. Quiet air conditioning. Very hospitable hosts. Thank you Athina! We recommend rent a car (too hot to move by public transport). A great base for exploring eastern and central Crete.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Accomodation.

Beautiful country location but close to beaches , shops and other amenities. We have stayed in many apartments on Crete and this is one of the best. Fantastic pool and superb air conditioning and for a very reasonable price. The owners are helpful and very nice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Accommodation.

Relaxing, peaceful accommodation with fantastic views and close to Agio Nikolaos.

Everything was fantastic! What a beautiful property, clean, accommodating- truly felt like a home away from home. The pool was refreshing and open from morning to midnight- cleaned every day. Beautiful garden with lemon trees. Very kind hostess. Highly recommended!
