VILLA NOSTALGIA

Near Plaka

Villa Nostalgia is a newly built villa,  perfect for either families or couples who would like a peaceful setting with incomparable sea views and sunsets, but would also like to be only a few minutes away from the beach, tavernas, shops and other amenities. Located on a hillside just above the village of Plaka, the villa has absolutely stunning panoramic views of Souda Bay, The Akrotiri Peninsula, the Turkish Castle at Aptera, The White Mountains, and acres of olive groves.

Villa Nostalgia is set just above the adjacent villa (Villa Poppy) but has its own grounds, pool and private parking area. The owner is a local lady who has taken great care to furnishing and decorating the villa. There are natural coloured floor tiles throughout the villa, dark mahogany furniture in all of the bedrooms, and natural wood cupboards in the kitchen. The warm coloured draperies and textiles in the villa give the house a lovely friendly feeling. All modern comforts are available at Villa Nostalgia, including satellite tv, dvd and cd players, mosquito screens on all the windows, and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated by either solar panel or a back-up emersion heater.

Villa Nostalgia is just 5 minutes by car to the lovely village of Almyrida which is built around a crescent shaped sandy beach. The beach is very shallow and safe, perfect for children or non-confident swimmers. Lining the beach are many excellent tavernas, cafes and shops.
