Villa Nostalgia is a newly built villa that is perfect for either families or couples who would like a peaceful setting with incomparable sea views and sunsets, but would also like to be only a few minutes away from the beach, tavernas, shops and other amenities. Located on a hillside just above the village of Plaka, the villa has absolutely stunning panoramic views of Souda Bay, The Akrotiri Peninsula, the Turkish Castle at Aptera, The White Mountains, and acres of olive groves.

Villa Nostalgia is set just about the adjacent villa (Villa Poppy ) but has its own pool and private parking area. The owner is a local lady who has taken great care to furnishing and decorating the villa. There are natural coloured floor tiles throughout the villa, dark mahogany furniture in all of the bedrooms, and natural wood cupboards in the kitchen. The warm coloured draperies and textiles in the villa give the house a lovely friendly feeling. All modern comforts are available at Villa Nostalgia, including satellite TV, DVD and CD players, dishwasher and washing machine, mosquito screens on all the windows, and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the 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 by either solar panel or a back-up emersion heater. Villa Nostalgia has extra large water storage tanks to ensure that the villa never runs out of water during our long hot summers.

Location


Plaka village square is only 1.1kms from Villa Nostalgia and is an easy 10 minute walk. Plaka was one of the original village sets for the film “Zorba the Greek” and it still has quaint whitewashed houses and narrow streets just off the mulberry tree lined square. The modern outskirts of the village have expanded recently as have the facilities, which now include 3 excellent tavernas, 2 well stocked mini markets, a sweet shop, and 5 cafes. 3 of these cafes are just a short five minute walk from the villa. Villa Nostalgia is just 5 minutes by car to the lovely village of Almyrida which is built around a crescent shaped sandy beach. 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 many excellent tavernas, cafes and shops. Also in Almyrida there is a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans, and the Villas Crete Holidays tourist office that is owned and run by Frankie Miles. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 35 minutes away by car.
