My name is John. In 2018 I started my search for the ideal place to build my dream villa. In South Crete I finally found a unique plot with beautiful views, peace and space. Construction started in December 2018 and was completed in the late summer of 2020. I wish you a lot of viewing pleasure and hope to welcome you as a guest soon!

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

This beach is best known for the beautiful palm grove that starts from the beach. The emerald green water of the river slowly changes into the aquamarine blue of the sea. You can discover the forest via a footpath and take a refreshing dive in the river along the way. There is a taverna, shower and toilet on the beach. You can reach the beach by boat from Plakias or Damnoni, by car or by bus which runs up and down from Plakias a few times a day in high season.
You can reach this beach via the traditional village of Lefkogia. A road with beautiful views leads to a beautiful white sandy beach. The beach is very popular with snorkelers, divers and nature lovers. Along the beach are freshwater pools and many rock formations. Next to the parking lot is a restaurant serving traditional dishes. It is easily accessible by car, motorcycle, scooter or bicycle. But you can also walk, you take the bus and get off in Lefkogia. It is then 2 kilometers to the beach.
Plakias is a former fishing village and is located at the mouth of a stream that flows into the sea from the Kotsifo gorge. The stream divides the village in two, you can go from one part to the other via a bridge. Plakias has a long boulevard with cozy restaurants, bars and coffee corners, many with sea views. On the boulevard and side streets you will find shops, supermarkets, bakers, butchers and an organic shop. There is also a doctor's post, a dentist and 2 pharmacies.
A real family beach. It is a long stretch of sandy beach with beach beds, umbrellas, changing rooms and showers. Along the beach are restaurants with traditional dishes. The beach is easily accessible by car (plenty of parking), motorcycle, scooter or bicycle. You can also take the boat from Plakias to the beach or walk from Plakias, which takes about half an hour. Via the unpaved coastal road from Damnoni you can go to the other beaches: Amoudaki, Klissidi and Amoudi.
Plakias beach is nearly 1 kilometer long. You can walk from one side to the other via a path along the beach. From the harbor you can take the boat to the beaches in the area; Damnoni beach, Shinaria beach and Preveli beach. You can also walk from Plakias to Souda beach or Damnoni beach, which is about half an hour.
The Piso Moni Preveli monastery is isolated and high above the coast. 3 monks live here. The monastery is built around a well, with many steps and level differences. Along the 7 kilometers long road with breathtaking views you reach the old monastery Kato Monastiri. You can visit this monastery in the summer period. Not far from this old monastery is the old Venetian bridge. From here you can also take beautiful walks along old olive groves and the river.
The white church at the top or Timios Stavros can be seen everywhere in this area. It is 433 meters above sea level and the view is breathtakingly beautiful. It is best to take the walk early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Sunrise and sunset are at their best here.
Frangokastello is a small village and best known for the Venetian fortress that was built in 1371 as a protection against the sea pirates. Originally it was named after the Saint Nikitas. Later it was renamed Frangokastello; castle of the Franks. Bring swimming clothes along, because next to the fort is a beautiful long beach with crystal clear water. Opposite the fortress are a few restaurants serving traditional dishes.
An impressive gorge, also called the Grand canyon of Crete by the Greeks. Halfway up the gorge, a road leads to a church of Agios Nikolaos and the waterfalls. The water comes down here with considerable force all year round. Through the gorge it is possible to walk to Preveli beach. It is a challenging journey. The gorge is also popular with nature lovers and bird watchers. Beyond the dam, it is wonderful to swim in the clear waters of the river.
