Athena's Sun

Less than half an hour from Heraklion, this villa is a comfortable base for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing holiday home. It’s on a complex of villas a short drive from Gournes, Marina, and Gouves beaches, boasting both sea and mountain views. The villa is comfortable and contemporary, with a fully-equipped kitchen and an open-plan living and dining space – this is where two guests will sleep on sofa beds. The outside space is the star of the show, centred around a private pool and with a shaded pergola with a built-in barbecue and a dining table – it’s a dreamy spot for alfresco meals.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on single sofa beds in the living space.
*While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*There’s free parking here. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*There are stairs to climb at this home, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones.
*Your host operates several villas here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
