Good location, close to beach (short carride) and close to Hersonissos/Heraklion airport, but quiet. Pool/jacuzzi were cleaned every 2 days, the pool is great, the seating area had a lot of shade which was perfect for us, but easy to move the poolchairs into the sun if wanted. Parking on site behind gate. There are 2 apartments in the villa, each with private entry, private pool and seating, they only share a little playground and the outdoor kitchen/BBQ area. Babycot was available. Apartment was very clean. This was the lower/groundfloor apartment. Plenty good restaurants in Anissaras and Analipsi, which we much preferred to the hustle and many tourists in Hersonissos. Would definitely recommend! ##### Anouk Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Stella-Island-Luxury-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h16508136.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Noruz-Chania.h15451739.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel LUXME White](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Grecotel-LUXME-White-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2573709.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Selection Rinela](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Peninsula-Resort-Spa.h4680601.Hotel-Information) > > [Acro Wellness Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Acro-Wellness-Suites-Adults-Only.h42005805.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Minos-Imperial.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [Out Of The Blue All Inclusive Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Out-Of-The-Blue-Capsis-Elite-Resort.h1164026.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Of-Elounda.h2497819.Hotel-Information) > > [Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Agapi-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1056753.Hotel-Information) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Caldera Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Atlantica-Caldera-Palace-All-Inclusive.h35181792.Hotel-Information) > > [Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Lyttos-Beach-All-Inclusive.h8077194.Hotel-Information) > > [Daios Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Daios-Cove-Luxury-Resort-Villas.h3300418.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Seaside-A-Lifestyle-Resort-All-Inclusive.h2312612.Hotel-Information) > > [Abaton Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Abaton-Island-Resort-Spa.h20145294.Hotel-Information) > > [Star Beach Village and Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Star-Beach-Village-And-Water-Park.h1342145.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Rimondi-Grand-Resort-Spa.h4925255.Hotel-Information) > > [Cretan Dream Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Cretan-Dream-Royal-Hotel.h2336360.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Lucia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d168-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Blue-Palace-Hotel-Elounda.h972986.Hotel-Information) > > [Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Platanias-Hotels-Euphoria-Resort-All-Inclusive.h21337972.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Bella-Beach-All-Inclusive.h1081456.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Tremblay-en-France (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) > > [Flights from detroit metropolitan wayne county airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/dtw/flights-from-detroit-metropolitan-wayne-county-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Panama City (ECP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ecp/toronto-to-panama-city) ### Activities
