Villa Nostalgia is a modern 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 above the adjacent villa but has its own pool and private parking area. The owners are a local couple 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 Free unlimited WIFI, satellite TV, DVD/CD player, 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 immersion heater. Villa Nostalgia has extra large water storage tanks to ensure that the villa never runs out of water during our long hot summers.

Villa 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 6 tavernas, 2 well stocked mini markets (including one with foreign products), and 7 cafes. 2 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. There is a scuba diving office,  paddle board and pedalo rentals, and a water sports centre which rents out kayaks, windsurfers and catamarans.Other activities in the area include private boat hire, boat trips, big game fishing, horse riding, a private evening of astronomy and mythology in your villa, private sightseeing flights in a light aircraft, and guided walking tours or coach excursions. For those of you looking for even more activity, the historic town of Chania is only 35 minutes away by car.

Villa Rental Prices

All prices shown are per Villa, per Week, in Euros for 1- 6 persons. These prices include a Free Welcome Pack, Bed Linen and Towels, Twice Weekly Cleaning, a Villa Information Book, and a villa copy of the essential guide book, "Crete on the Road" by Frankie Miles.

*** As of January 01, 2024, the Greek government have replaced the old “bed tax” with a new tax that is applied to all stays in short-term rental accommodation in Greece. The Climate Resilience Levy is a response to the devastating forest fires and floods that Greece has experienced in recent years, with the government hoping to generate extra funding that will go towards financing reconstruction, supporting victims, and increasing the country’s defences against future natural disasters.

The owners of all short-term rental accommodation are legally obliged to collect the Climate Resilience Levy as a separate tax for all overnight stays (per villa) as follows:
€10.00 per night on stays between March 01 and October 31, and €4.00 per night on stays between November 01 and February 28/29.

We will collect the Climate Levy with your final balance payment and it will be clearly itemised on your Booking Confirmation.

Whilst we understand the potential budget concerns of our guests, this tax/levy is beyond our control and we encourage our guests to see this as a way of contributing to the protection of the planet and the beautiful area where they are holidaying.
