Built on a hillside, just 100 meters from Agios Panteleimonas beach, Nimfes Villas offer fully equipped accommodation with a private pool and unobstructed views over Mirabello gulf. The centre of Istron village is just a short walk away. Nimfes Villas are bright and elegantly decorated in soft tones. Ôhey all consist of a fully fitted kitchen with dining area and a spacious living room with fireplace, flat-screen, satellite TV and DVD player. Each villa opens out to sea-view terrace with hot tub, sun loungers and umbrellas. BBQ facilities are also available, as well as a communal fitness room. The sandy beach of Voulisma is 100 meters away. In the village of Istro, you can find traditional taverns and cafe. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout and free private parking is possible.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Nimfes Villas, located at Istro, Lassithi Region, 72100, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Nimfes Villas, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Nimfes Villas are revisited so often.
