A beautiful house in the mountains. If you want peace and quiet this is perfect. The views are incredible. Despoina is a wonderful host who generously made us homemade cakes! This part of Crete is not busy but the local tavernas offer wonderful food (cheaper than in the main areas). The mornings are cooler in the mountains so this is a good area for walking.

Amazing and relaxing holidays
Our holidays at Villa Galatia were amazing. The house is beautiful and we felt comfortable at first moment. The house and the Pool are really nice! You can enjoy the silence but with a car there is nothing far away. You can go to the beach, have a hike in a gorge around or just enjoy a traditional meal. Ioannis and Despina were perfect hosts. Thank you!
