About this property
This stone built two bedroom villa belongs to the renowned Atlantica Caldera complex located in marvellous Platania, less than 11 km from Chania Town in the north-west corner of Crete.
Nestled among beautiful orange and olive groves, the villa is spread over two levels and accommodates up to four guests in spacious luxury bedrooms overlooking scented landscaped gardens.
Featuring an exclusive half indoor/half outdoor pool, with the outdoor section surrounded by a lovely terrace equipped with sunbeds, there is plenty of room for total relaxation.
The design is elegant and stylish, creating a welcoming atmosphere. This outstanding villa is fully equipped with all possible facilities, you will want for nothing.
Platanias, owing its name to the river which in legendary Homer's time was called the "Lardanos", is a lively seaside resort located at just 11 km west from Chania.
If the new town bustles with waterfront bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels and incredibly sandy beaches, the hillside old part known as Ano Platanias is still steeped in history and tradition.
Together with the close by Agia Marina, this is for sure one of the most popular areas in the island, able to offer unforgettable holiday experiences to families with children, couples and groups of friends alike.
A visit to Chania, which also hosts an airport, is equally recommended. The city, that has seen many civilisations come and go over thousands of years of settlement, from Minoans to Romans, Byzantine to Ottoman, this rich history has carved out a unique and mysterious town.
Most of the restaurants, museums, churches and craft shops centre around the gorgeous Venetian harbour, which represents a window into the past Turkish and Venetian architecture that has otherwise largely been destroyed by war. Watching the sunset past the old lighthouse is a truly unmissable experience, but the area offers a different picturesque aesthetic at any given time of day.
The dramatic, mountainous interior of Crete is also well worthy of exploration, remaining unspoilt and largely unchanged for hundreds of years. Incredible churches, and sleepy little villages are hidden round every bend as you wind your way across the sun baked landscape.
Be sure to sample the fresh fish they pull in from the harbour each day, or even take a boat out and do some fishing or snorkeling yourself!
