Villa Hersonissos

Crete is one of our favourite holiday destinations. It is an island paradise in Greece with truly exceptional scenery, picture-perfect little villages, truly exceptional beaches, a delicious local cuisine, and archaeological and historical gems dotted all throughout the place. No matter what kind of holiday you’re after, you’re likely to find everything you need in Crete. Those interested in staying active will have endless options: from hiking canyons, to climbing cliffs, to racing cars, to kayaking impossibly blue waters, to snorkelling or diving into their crystal-clear depths. Those interested in doing little at all will find that the very same bountiful landscape for activity is also ideal for relaxing and that there are lots of quiet seaside resorts and villages not yet completely commercialised or overrun by tourists. Long days laying out on the beach, or wandering pretty old towns and exploring boutiques, or enjoying meals or a glass of wine while the sun sets over the water go perfectly with our wonderful villas in Crete. In these amazing properties you can have space, peace, quiet, and maybe even a pool that will mean you barely have to go anywhere at all to have a perfectly relaxing getaway in Greece. Then there are the food-lovers who should, in particular, make a point to head to Chania, which is a true foodie paradise. Or the history buffs who are interested in hitting up plenty of museums and interesting attractions, who should definitely head to Heraklion and the nearby Minoan sites of Knossos and Phaestos. So really, Crete does have everything you could possibly ask for in a holiday destination.


It also has some of our best villas in Greece and, among them, we thought we’d highlight the exceptional Villa Hersonissos today.
