Description
Crete Estate is a complex of nine luxurious, independent villas, each with its own character, design and style. The perfect choice whether you seek an ideal getaway for leisure and comfort or a convenient starting point to explore eastern Crete’s landmarks and nature.
Spacious and elegant, whether you prefer a classic or contemporary design approach, this 110 sq.m. villa expands on 2 levels, and can accommodate up to 5 persons in a master bedroom -with king size bed and en suite bathroom- and a twin bedded room -with a en suite bathroom with shower cabin.
The property is located on Mirabello Gulf which is one of the most breathtaking corners of Crete, where the sea, the land and the sky create a mesmerizing kaleidoscope that captivates the visitor’s senses.
Very close to the city, in the Dikte Mountains, one of the most fascinating destinations awaits the Byzantine culture aficionados. The Church of Panagia Kera, with its well-preserved 13th century frescoes, is a cultural landmark not just for the region, but for the entire island.
Aghios Nikolaos is an ideal base for excursions as it is situated 75 kilometers from Herakleion, 70 kilometers from Siteia and 36 kilometers from Ierapetra.
Just 10km outside Aghios Nikolaos lies Elounda. At the location where once was situated the -sunken today- city of Olous and later a small fishing village, you will find one of the world’s most well-known resorts with a beautiful scenery.
Finally, very close to Elounda is the island of Spinalonga (“the long thorn”) a once part of mainland Crete, until the Venetians decided to carve it out of the coast for defense purposes. From a salt pan center to a strategically placed fort and a leper colony during the first half of the 20th century, Spinalonga is today a popular tourist attraction thanks to its Venetian fortress (built in 1579), the remains of the colony and its shallow water beaches.
