Luxury Villa on the north coast of Crete overlooking Souda Bay. Aegean View is an elegant, architect-designed property built five years ago and is situated just beneath the village of Kokkino Chorio near Hania. Set in an acre of garden amongst olive trees with panoramic sea views, the house is reached by a private driveway. At the front of the property there is a wide terrace shaded by a vine and bougainvillea from where you can watch the ships out in the bay, listen to the birds, and, in the evening, enjoy the sun setting over the Rodopou peninsula. There is a 50 square meter illuminated swimming pool with fence and lockable gate, but also many good child friendly beaches within easy reach. The Villa is very well equipped combining comfortable traditional Cretan furniture with a modern Italian kitchen, a generous supply of contemporary bathrooms and plenty of hanging space in the wardrobes. Well-suited to an extended family group or a party of friends.

Aegean View is within easy reach of beautiful beaches, but is in a peaceful location at the end of a peninsula overlooking Souda Bay.The beautiful Venetian city of Hania is only 20 minutes away and offers a number of museums, walks around the old walls, excellent eating and a wide range of speciality shops. Don't miss the war graves at the Souda cemetery. On your way back you can pick up fresh fish from the two fishmongers in Souda. Rethymnon, is also worth a visit for its historic centre, beaches and tavernas serving local specialities. All the local villages of Vamos, Plaka, Gavalohori, Almerida and Kalives have attractions to offer including night life and sporting activities. The local taverna in Kokkino Horio usually has live music and frequently Cretan dancing on Saturday nights. The Kokkino Horio glass factory is the major local employer and has some wonderful displays of its glass - a good place for completely original presents. They also do glass-blowing demonstrations.

The Pool Terrace The private illuminated pool has a size of 50 sqm. From the fenced pool terrace you have breathtaking views to the Sea, the Akrotiri peninsula and Souda Bay where ýou can watch unforgetable beautiful sunsets.

The centre of the village of Almyrida is only a 10 min. drive away, and is built around a pretty crescent shaped sandy beach, with a small fishing harbour at the eastern end. The beach is very shallow and safe, which is good news if you have children or are not a strong swimmer. Lining the beach is a good choice of tavernas, café/bars, bakeries, a jewellery shop, mini-markets, gift shops, ATM and internet access and an off-license. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans.  For a change of pace, a 15 minute walk uphill (or 10 minutes downhill!) will take you to the main square in the neighbouring village of Plaka. There are lovely shady mulberry trees under which the locals sit to watch the world go by whilst enjoying a delicious meal or even just an ice cold frappe. Plaka was one of the original village sets for the film "Zorba the Greek" and it still has quaint whitewashed houses and narrow streets leading off from the square. A few minutes by car from Kyra's House, there are a huge variety of archaeological sites and traditional villages with wonderful tavernas. There is also an interesting selection of small craft centres and museums, including glass blowing in Kokkino Horio, lace makers in Gavalohori, and silk makers in Kalamitsi. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 40 minutes away by car.
