Location Overview – Meet Sfakaki Village
*TO SEE: Sfakaki, once a hidden gem, has blossomed into a beloved seaside destination with a golden sandy beach just 800m from the villa. The beach is famed for being a nesting site for the endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtle, offering both a relaxing and eco-conscious beach experience.
*TO DINE: Local tavernas, bakeries, and beach bars line the coast, offering fresh seafood, Cretan delicacies, and Mediterranean cuisine—all within walking distance. No car? No problem. This is a rare beach villa where everything you need is truly on foot.
*TO EXPLORE: With proximity to the highway, Inn Villa is perfectly positioned for exploring Crete’s diverse offerings—from mountain villages and gorges to bustling towns like Rethymno, just a 15-minute drive away. Nearby Stavromenos and Skaleta offer butcher shops, gas stations, and more local flair just 5 minutes by car.
