Location:

The Villa is located near Plaka, a picturesque coastal village located in northeastern Crete, Greece, near the town of Elounda. Known for its stunning sea views and traditional charm, Plaka sits opposite the small island of Spinalonga, which has a rich history as a former Venetian fortress and leper colony. The village is a popular destination for visitors seeking a quieter, more authentic experience compared to the busier tourist hubs of Crete.

Plaka retains much of its traditional Cretan character, with stone-built houses, narrow streets, and a laid-back atmosphere. Despite its small size, it offers a selection of tavernas, cafes, and boutique accommodations that cater to travellers looking to enjoy fresh seafood, local delicacies, and hospitality by the sea. The waters surrounding Plaka are clear and inviting, making it an excellent spot for swimming, snorkelling, and boat trips to Spinalonga.

The village's location makes it an ideal base for exploring the eastern part of Crete, including the upscale resort town of Elounda, the historic town of Agios Nikolaos, and the stunning beaches of the region. Plaka's tranquil setting, combined with its historical significance and scenic beauty, makes it a favoured destination for those looking to experience Crete’s natural landscapes and cultural heritage in a peaceful environment.
