Spanning 200 sqm over three levels, it accommodates up to ten guests across five bedrooms, offering a refined blend of comfort, style, and sea views while its beachfront location truly justifies the name “on the waves.” On the ground floor, the spacious open-plan area welcomes guests with large balcony doors that frame endless sea views. A corner sofa, dark wooden dining table, and handcrafted fixtures in classic-colonial style create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication, complemented by a gas fireplace and a 50’’ Ambilight TV. The modern, fully equipped kitchen — separated by a stylish counter — includes all large and small appliances, while a double guest bedroom completes this level. Upstairs, the first floor features the elegant master bedroom with romantic décor, handmade furnishings, and a private terrace overlooking the blue waters of Gouves. Two additional bedrooms — one double and one with bunk beds — also have access to the terrace, ideal for families. A large bathroom with twin sinks, a bathtub, and a separate WC complete the floor. The lower level of the villa is dedicated to leisure and relaxation. A spacious playroom and children’s corner ensure fun for all ages, while fitness enthusiasts will enjoy the private gym with Kettler equipment. This level also includes an additional double bedroom, a large bathroom with bathtub, and a practical laundry area with all necessary amenities. Outdoors, Villa Aphrodite shines with expansive verandas offering privacy, panoramic sea views, and elegant lounging spaces. Enjoy breakfast or a romantic dinner on the terrace, surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the archaeological site of the ancient Minoan pottery workshops dating back more than 3,000 years — a place chosen from the Minoans not only for its unique location but also for its exceptional mild microclimate. Perfectly located just steps from Kato Gouves Beach and close to shops, cafés, and restaurants, the villa allows guests to enjoy a relaxing stay without the need for a car. Heraklion town is only 17 km away, the airport 12 km, Hersonissos resort just a 10-minute drive and Malia a 20-minute drive some 20 km away. Guests of Villa Aphrodite enjoy free access to the nearby "Gouves playground" an ideal place for small kids to play and 10% discount at the owner’s adjacent shop "Cretan Shop", offering souvenirs and gifts.
