A fantastic villa in a quiet rural spot ideally located to explore western Crete. The villa had all the facilities of a home away from home with a great pool area to relax around. It's located in an elevated position overlooking the village of Ravdoucha up a short dirt track with wonderful views over the bay of Kissamos and the Gramvousa peninsular. There are plenty of places to eat nearby with a small taverna at Ravdoucha beach about a mile away or at nearby Kolymbari about a 10 minute drive. There are loads of beaches within a short drive from the small pebble beach at Ravdoucha to lots of sandy beaches along Kissamos bay. The beautiful beach at Elafonissi is about an hours drive away, Phalasarna about half an hour, the boat trip to Balos beach departs from Kissamos harbour about 15 mins away, the manager Fabio also gave us great tips of other places which were well worth a visit plus if you do your homework, within a short distance there is a ruined hilltop Byzantine city, the oldest church in Greece, the worlds oldest olive tree, and a gorge to hike with vultures circling overhead, all followed by a swim in your own fantastic pool and an evening meal in a seaside tavern, what's not to like?
