All this setting is surrounded by our family's century old olive grove, that gives the property a traditional Cretan touch.

The unique benefits of Villa Athena is its tranquil environment that makes it feel as a perfect retreat from the city, while being a 5 minute drive from anything one could miss from the city. The beauty of its gardens, the audors and colors makes the environment as relaxing as it can get. Its strategic location close to all the main roads and sights makes touring in Crete very comfortable. Together with the local tastes and drinks that you can enjoy in Crete, it feels like life cannot get any better. It is very difficult for one no to fully recharge here.
Villa Athena is located 500 mt north from a sandy beach, with shallow cool waters. The beach, is next to the Amirandes Resort, which is one of the most luxurious hotels on the island.
Aposelemis river is located just 500m north of Villa...
