VILLA CHARIKLIA, NW CRETE
If you are looking for peace, tranquility and glorious natural scenery, the Villa Chariklia awaits you.
Located
in Kampia in the picturesque region of Apokoronas, the detached villa is set
amidst ancient olive groves. Its five double guest rooms
are newly decorated, have private balconies and are en-suite. In addition,
there is a self-catering studio, also en suite with private balcony.
The first floor balconies have panoramic views of the White Mountains and Souda Bay.
The
villa is a short 5 minute drive from AlmIrida with its delightful golden beach
and a stroll away from tavernas and shops in the popular village of Plaka.
Breathe in the clear mountain air scented with wild flowers and herbs and watch and listen to the many birds nesting in and around the olive groves. This is excellent walking country with wildflower trails in the spring. Booklets of local walks available and guided walks during May and June.
The villa boasts several peaceful and secluded seating areas for the guest scented by a profusion of roses, jasmine, wisteria, bougainvillea, apricot, olive trees and citrus fruits. It even has a pond with resident terrapin.
The White mountains dominate Western Crete and the Apokoronas area is ideally placed for exploring some of the gorges, particularly Samaria and Imbros.
Car hire is recommended except for serious walkers.
