PENINSULA. Unique villa on the edge of the Plaka coast of Almyrida.

Unique villa located on the edge of the Plaka coast area in the district of Almyrida in the Apokoronas region.

Best holiday house ever!
The villa pictures indeed placed the bar high - the infinity pool, the amazing view etc - and I was somewhat ready to be disappointed on arrival. It seemed it was just a bit too good to be true. Then my wife and I arrived and it turned out the house was even better than described. This is a truly amazing place, the best house we've ever stayed in - and we have stayed in some remarkable ones. I cannot recommend it enough. We ended up spending 90% of our holiday in and by the villa because honestly, why leave for excursions if you're already in paradise? Adding to the villas incredible location, unbeatable views, complete privacy, amazing patio and pool, is also how truly well equipped it is. Beautifully furnished with high quality appliances and a kitchen that left you want for nothing (especially important for me since I love cooking when on holiday). Everything top standard, clean and high quality. Having the villa all to ourselves was incredible but the house would be just as perfect for a larger party or family. Our host Carina made sure we had all we needed and was so helpful in every way. Again, a truly amazing experience that we will keep treasuring and keep recommending. Thank you SO much!

Stunning sea views
Well equipped, comfortable villa, large pool perfect for swimming & admiring the view from the infinity end which Id suggest is unrivalled. BBQ area was acceptable but in my opinion not up to the standard of other areas. The metel framed sunbeds were not suitable for me as I have mobility issues however the owner provided their personal wooden sunbeds which are slightly higher & more stable. Very friendly & helpful owner & housekeeper. Very pleasant two weeks in June

Magnifique villa avec vue incroyable
Très belle maison conforme aux descriptions excepté le menage fait une seule fois dans la semaine contrairement à ce qui est annoncé. Seul bémol sur la piscine : éclairage inopérant non réparé et entretien invisible (eau trouble en fin de semaine) malgré notice et relance.

I’m half Greek (from Crete) and half Norwegian. I speak fluent English, Norwegian, and Greek, and have lived and worked on Crete for many years. I started my company ALMYRA in 2010 with rental properties mainly on Crete. My previous background is real estate sales and development on Crete. I have chosen the properties with which I work based on my personal and selective criteria for a perfect holiday villa on this amazingly beautiful island. I wish you a wonderful holiday and will do my utmost to make it so!
