The Aegean Blue Villa is a newly built, fully air conditioned modern villa which is positioned on a hillside above the sandy beach and turquoise waters of Kera Cove, which lies perfectly on the coastline between the lovely beach villages of Almyrida and Kalives. This beautiful villa sits on the upper terrace of a small and prestigious development of villas with wonderful views over Kera Beach to Souda Bay and the Akrotiri Peninsula to the north, and across hillsides of olive groves and vineyards to the White Mountains in the south. There is easy access by foot to the beaches, shops and many tavernas in Almyrida, and an abundance of walking trails leading from Kera, making Aegean Blue ideal for those who do not always want to drive whilst on holiday.

It is very rare to find a pool on Crete that is heated, which is a huge plus at the start and end of the season when the pools can be a little chilly. Fortunately the mosaic tiled swimming pool at the Aegean Blue Villa is heated by environmentally friendly solar panels and is therefore perfect for swimming at any time of year. The pool has an infinity edge that looks over the villa below to Kera Beach and Souda Bay. There are many outdoor seating areas for a choice of sun and shade, all of which share the lovely views. Set just above the pool is a covered dining area that has a large built-in barbeque, a sink a fridge, and a dining table and 6 chairs. Framing the outside dining area are four columns which have an abundance of fuchsia bougainvillea climbing up them. There is also a comfortable outdoor seating area with a couch, 2 armchairs and a coffee table from where you can have an early evening drink whilst watching the fantastic sunsets or the evening ferry passing by on its way to Athens. Dotted all around the property are numerous terracotta clay pots, rockeries and flowerbeds which have been planted with an array of trees and flowering bushes including bottlebrush plants, cacti, oleander, hottentot fig, mesmbryanthum, geraniums, gerber daisies, lilies, fig, orange, lemon and olive. A small track and an olive grove lie to the rear of the property.

We are very pleased to be the exclusive agents for The Aegean Blue Villa which is finished and furnished to a very high standard. The English owners have created an incredibly elegant home which far surpasses the average holiday villa. No expense has been spared to ensure that you have a relaxing and comfortable holiday. There are many modern comforts including a fully fitted, very well equipped kitchen which includes matching stainless steel appliances such as: a ceramic hob, a built-in oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and a CD player; fully tiled bathrooms, one of which houses the washing machine; satellite TV, and a DVD player in the lounge; mosquito screens, Mediterranean blue aluminium doors, window frames, and shutters; and air conditioning units in the bedrooms and living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated either by solar panel or a back-up immersion heater. A hairdryer and a selection of books and DVD’s have been thoughtfully supplied. The furnishings in the villa are particularly attractive and romantic with natural pine beds made at the workshop of a local craftsman, cream coloured French Provincial style furniture which has been delicately hand painted with floral motifs by skilled artists, comfortable cream couches, bedspreads made from pale gold taffeta, matching pale gold silk lampshades, marble table tops, and marble busts of Afrodite and Apollo. There are beautiful flower arrangements and scented candles throughout the villa to complete the pretty setting.

This charming villa offers stunning views, beautiful furnishings, and a convenient location close to the beach and amenities – what more could you ask for!

Location

The beach at Kera is only 475 metres from the villa. It is a quiet beach as there are no sun-beds or cafes here therefore it is ideal for picnics. The water is shallow and there is a choice of pebbles or sand. The lovely village of Almyrida is only 800m walk down a dirt track from The Aegean Blue Villa, and is built around a pretty crescent shaped sandy beach, with a small fishing harbour at the eastern end. The beach is very shallow and safe, which is good news if you have children or are not a strong swimmer. Lining the beach are 4 excellent tavernas, 9 café/bars, 2 bakeries, a wonderful jewellery shop, 5 mini-markets, 3 gift shops, an off-license, and the Villas Crete Holidays Tourist Office that is owned and run by Frankie Miles. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans. The village of Kalives is 3km away and has long been a popular destination for holiday makers seeking a typically Greek seaside resort that has many amenities but is far removed from brash tourism. Kalives stretches along 4 kilometres of sandy beaches, and the narrow main street is lined with old white washed houses. Two rivers run join the sea at Kalives , and there is a traditional fishing boat harbour at the eastern end of the village. There is an abundance of excellent tavernas and cafes lining the seafront, and there are shops of every description. A few minutes by car from the villa, there are a huge variety of archaeological sites and traditional villages with wonderful tavernas. There is also an interesting selection of small craft centres and museums, including glass blowing in Kokkino Horio , lace makers in Gavalohori , and silk makers in Kalamitsi . For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 35 minutes away by car.

F.A.Q

Any steps? How many?
The parking area, outside dining and BBQ area, and the outside lounge area are on the same level as the villa and there are no steps, 5 steps from the villa to the pool terrace, 4 steps from the BBQ area to the pool terrace, 17 steps to the upper floor – this house is suitable for the elderly or disabled if they stay in the downstairs double bedroom.

How private?
Not particularly private. The pool terrace can partially be seen by the villa garden area of the villa set just below, and by the villas to the right, though these are all holiday homes and seldom occupied.

Nearest neighbour?
Below and either side of the villa.

Kera Beach, Almyrida and Kalives are within walking distance, and there is a limited bus service from Almyrida and Kalives into Chania , but we recommend car hire in order to explore the varied regions of the area.
