Green Olea

Nestled up on a hillside, this Cretan villa is in a prime position overlooking the ocean as well as the uninhabited island of Kalydon. You're just a short walk from the picturesque pebble beach of Plaka and within easy reach of Agios Nikolaos. This fantastic spot means you can enjoy some breathtaking views from the terrace, the balcony and the sparkling infinity pool. Inside, the home is welcoming and traditional – it looks a little dated in parts, but we think this adds to its quaint charm – and you'll find you have everything you need for an effortless stay. We particularly love the Jacuzzi-style bath – the perfect way to end a busy day.

Home truths:
*While the second bathroom isn’t properly photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*This home is situated in a small villa complex. While each villa is independent, you'll share a communal driveway and may see or hear your neighbours.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request. The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times.
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There is one free private parking spot here.
