The living room leads to the spacious terraces.

On the upper floor there are three spacious bedrooms with double beds and each with an en-suite bathroom.
The largest bedroom, with around 30 square meters, has an open bathroom with shower and bathtub, as well as a separate toilet with bidet. The double bed is 2x2 m. From here you have access to the shaded roof terrace of over 30 square meters, which only belongs to this bedroom. There is a large open-air shower with hot and cold water.

Wonderful home and position
We are a family of 6 adults and our stay at Athena Villa was wonderful. The house is huge with plenty of spaces to be together or alone. Kitchen and amenities fabulous. The pool is beautiful and well maintained. We arrived to a wine fruit and local olive oil basket. Bedrooms and bathrooms all well appointed and very comfortable. The location is central to so many lovely places to visit and so many fabulous travenas. We had a super time staying at the property

Luxus und Erholung
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Villa Athene sehr genossen. Die Anlage ist traumhaft schön, ruhig, sauber und gepflegt! Die Zimmer sind sehr groß und hell. Alles ist vorhanden und die freundlichen Eigentümer, Familie Beibl, sind vor Ort! Bis zum Strand sind es nur wenige Minuten und im Ort gibt es 2 tolle Tavernen. Der Kundenservice ist ausgezeichnet! Wir empfehlen Kretafan sehr gerne weiter und kommen sicher wieder!!!

Traumurlaub in Traumvilla
Die Lage, die Architektur, die geschmackvolle und hochwertige Ausstattung, der Pool, die Gästebetreuung: alles einfach fantastisch! Fünf Sterne sind für die Villa Athene eigentlich viel zu wenig.

Luxusvilla vom Feinsten
Wir waren zu viert für einen Kurzurlaub in der Villa Athene. Dieses Haus läßt keine Wünsche offen. Die Ausstattung ist mehr als komplett. Der Garten schön eingewachsen und der Poolmann hat regelmäßig nach dem Pool geschaut. Die Villa ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Helga und Josef haben uns wieder freundlichst begrüßt und verabschiedet. Diese Villa können wir gerne weiterempfehlen. Der Strand ist in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Die Villa liegt auch perfekt für Ausflüge...Es gibt Minimärkte und Supermärkte in der Nähe. Wir haben für den Herbst schon wieder gebucht! Die Vier aus Bayern

Perfekte Villa mit schönem Spielplatz
Die perfekte Villa für uns. Wir waren mit unseren Zwillingen in der Villa. Sie war wie beschrieben, super eingerichtet, sehr sauber und gepflegt. Der Garten war gepflegt und der Poolmann kam regelmäßig vorbei. Das Haus können wir jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Zu den Stränden ist es nicht weit. Wir freuen uns auf nächstes Mal. Gabi mit Simon und Luise und Linda
