Vamos | Sleeps 2-6
History meets modernity at Villa Stathis. This atmospheric property is around 100 years old, but it comes with the comfort and convenience of the 21st century. The beautiful interior, which mixes bleached white walls and overhanging wooden beams with contemporary furnishings, will immediately make you feel at home. Its outdoor terrace, shaded by a canopy of vines, opens onto a swimming pool and blissful seclusion.
This enticing combination of old and new is also reflected in the location of Villa Stathis. The property is on the outskirts of Vamos, a picturesque town that oozes Cretan character. You can pick up supplies at the shop here or dine in one of the tavernas without ever getting in a car. You’ll end up feeling like one of the locals in no time at all.
The surrounding area adds to the appeal of Villa Stathis – if you're looking to get outdoors, head into the White Mountains for excellent hikes, and there's an array of picture-perfect sandy beaches within 10 minutes' drive.
