Villa Amalia is located in a secluded area of Aptera village in western Crete and it’s only a short distance (2,5km) from its world famous archaeological site. Its distance from Souda port and Chania town is 6km (5 min. drive) and 13km (15 min. drive) respectively. The villa is surrounded by olive trees and offers spectacular views of Souda Bay and Akrotiri peninsula. Built to very high specifications, Villa Amalia is modern and stylish, with an excellent yard which includes a beautiful salt-water pool with separate children’s section, a built-in barbecue with shaded dining area and wonderful gardens. Its unique location, offers breath taking scenery throughout the day, every day.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Villa Amalia, located at Aptera, Souda, 730 03, 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 Villa Amalia, – 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 Villa Amalia are revisited so often.
