Villa Orion
Villa Orion is a spacious and scenic retreat with two private pools and mesmerizing views of the Cretan landscape and the sea. Located near the picturesque village of Gavalochori and a short drive from the resort of Almyrida, Villa Orion is the ideal destination for large families or groups of friends looking for comfort, tranquility and proximity to the north coast of Crete.
The villa consists of three independent units in the same building, making it perfect for groups who want to enjoy time together but still want plenty of privacy. With a total of 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, the villa can comfortably accommodate up to 11 guests. Outside, guests will find extensive gardens, two swimming pools (one of which is above ground), a furnished sun terrace and shaded dining areas, all with panoramic views over the sea and surrounding hills.
Thanks to its strategic location, Villa Orion is easily accessible, both traditional villages and coastal highlights. The beach of Almerida is just 3 km away, while the charming village of Gavalochori – with a mini market, taverna and bar – is less than 1 km from the villa. The ancient city of Chania, known for its Venetian harbour, is only 25 km away, making this an easily accessible and peaceful base for your Cretan holiday.
