 Prices starting from €530 Euros per Week.1 double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom. Sleeps a maximum of 6 persons. Shared swimming pool (10m x 3m in the adult section + 3m x2m in the children’s section & depths 1.60m in the adult section, 0.55m in the baby section). As its name suggests, Panorama House is set on the top of a hill and enjoys absolutely stunning uninterrupted views to the north over the village, beaches and small fishing harbour of Almyrida to Souda Bay, Karga Isle and the Akrotiri Peninusla. The panoramic 360 degree views from the very large and private sun terrace and upstairs living area also incorporate The White Mountains, olive covered rolling hills, the Turkish fort at Aptera, and a number of quaint villages. A favourite for those wanting to stay just above the beach, Panorama House is just a 5 minute walk along a quiet track to the waterfront in the village, which is lined with number of excellent tavernas, cafes and shops. There are many wonderful trails leading from the villa that will keep the walkers amongst you very happy. Panorama House is set above 5 other terraced villas/townhouses on this sloping hillside (many of which are holiday homes), with only one connecting wall from the downstairs bathroom and twin bedroom with the nearest neighbour. This elevated position at the top end of the terrace allows for peace and privacy. The shared pool is positioned on the middle terrace and has a separate shallow section that is perfect for children or non-swimmers. The upstairs living room leads out onto the private sun terrace which is equipped with a large BBQ, sun-beds, umbrellas and a table and chairs for delightful al-fresco dining whilst taking in the fabulous views. The sun terrace is not overlooked and is covered on the west side, and has a pergola just outside the living room, giving a choice of sun or shade. This villa has been thoughtfully designed so that the living area has prime position on the top floor of the villa and therefore benefits from the marvellous views, and the bedrooms are on the ground level, which helps to keep them cooler during the long hot summer months. Panorama House is newly built and finished to a very high standard to ensure a relaxing holiday. In order to make your stay completely worry free, the villa is fully air conditioned throughout and with white aluminium window frames, shutters and doors, and mosquito screens. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights early and late season. Every modern comfort has been thought of including; natural wood kitchen cabinets, marble effect kitchen worktops, a ceramic hob and built-in oven, a microwave oven, a washing machine, a TV, a DVD player, a CD player/radio, a hairdryer, fully tiled modern bathrooms, and large built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms. There is plenty of parking on the track just outside the front door. This private track ends at Panorama House which is surrounded by olive groves. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom (which do not share connecting walls) plus additional sleeping for 2 persons on the sofa bed in the upstairs living room. We highly recommend Panorama House for its unique and peaceful countrified position high above the sea with gorgeous panoramic views of the entire area, and yet within easy walking distance to the beach, shops and tavernas in Almyrida .

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, 1 clothes shop, an off-license, and the K-Travel Tourist Office. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans. For a change of pace, a 20 minute walk uphill (or 15 minutes downhill!) will take you to the main square in the neighbouring village of Plaka . There are lovely shady mulberry trees under which the locals sit to watch the world go by whilst enjoying a delicious meal or even just an ice cold frappe. Plaka was one of the original village sets for the film “Zorba the Greek” and it still has quaint whitewashed houses and narrow streets leading off from the square. A few minutes by car from Panorama House, 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 30 minutes away by car. Villa amenities
