Nestled amidst the picturesque hills of Knossos in Crete, the tranquil yet vibrant village of Skalani hosts an inviting vacation Villa suitable for families or groups of friends throughout the year.
With convenient access from the port and airport, and its close proximity to Heraklion, the capital of the prefecture, this Villa serves as an ideal hub for exploring the multifaceted island of Crete. Its central location along Crete’s northern axis enhances its appeal.
The Villa features a private entrance leading to its half-acre walled plot. Its two-level layout ensures discreet privacy, with the upper level accommodating a family of four across two bedrooms. Additionally, three separate studios with ensuite facilities provide comfortable accommodations for friends or independent travelers.
A highlight of the property is the expansive swimming pool (65m2), surrounded by fragrant flowers and citrus trees, offering a refreshing retreat on hot summer days.
The upper floor boasts a spacious and well-equipped kitchen where family breakfasts and dinners can be prepared. These can be enjoyed on the veranda, which offers uninterrupted views of the Cretan mountains. Skalani’s traditional market, comprising a grocer, baker, and butcher, provides access to ingredients essential for crafting authentic Cretan cuisine at affordable prices. Moreover, the tree-shaded central square boasts a selection of gourmet taverns for dining options.
Skalani benefits from a well-connected public transport network, facilitating easy exploration of the entire island. Within a 10-minute drive lies the Palace of Knossos, the cradle of European civilization, while Archanes, situated at the foothills of Giouhta, offers scenic countryside walks. Visitors can also explore local wineries and sample wines crafted from the region's vineyards, adding to the allure of the picturesque countryside.
