Why rent a villa in Crete?
Crete, Greece’s largest island, lies between the Libyan Sea to the south and the Cretan Sea to the north. It covers an area of more than 8261km², is 260km long and between 12 and 61km wide. Today it’s a tourist destination, but it was once the cradle of European civilization.
Crete, with its balcony over Africa, is still a myth. It is “the island of the gods”. It is believed to be the birthplace of Mynos, who was born of Zeus’ love for Europe and Crete.
It’s a wild, mountainous island, ideal for contemplation and long walks. It’s a raw, untouched landscape that awaits you here, with rocky pine forests, high cliffs and sun-bleached stone, which shines here like no other, and is refreshed by an African wind and an Oriental breeze.
This island never ceases to amaze. Its cultural and historical heritage is as authentically preserved as its natural landscapes.
The white stone buildings are still standing, as if they breathe an air of eternity over this land that some describe as divine. These villas for rent with private swimming pool, so typical of Greece, are waiting for you on site.
Self-catering vacations with your rental home

After visiting the Museum of Archaeology, the Church of St. Catherine of Sinai and the harbor, enjoy a koukouvayia (a local specialty made with garlic, tomatoes and feta cheese) before taking a dip in the pool.
Chania, a former Venetian colony, is the ideal place to rent a vacation home. You’ll be impressed by its authentic streets and the beauty of the pink lagoon and beaches of Elafonissi. You should visit the Samaria Gorge, the deepest in Europe, and stroll through the ruins of Paleochora, the Venetian fort.
