Newly refurbished, this comfortable and traditional Cretan villa is owned and cared for by the same charming local family as nearby property Anna, a firm favourite of Vintage Travel guests. With its lovely private pool with separate children’s section and views across the olive groves towards the sea, Dimosthenis is ideal for families wanting to be walking distance downhill (1km) to three excellent value tavernas, a short drive to several beaches and close to the chic town of Chania.

Accommodation is set across three floors: the living space with access to a comfortable exterior seating area with views across down the valley and the sea beyond, is on the ground floor. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor which open out onto a shared balcony, there is also a shower room and a separate covered terrace with views towards the sea to one side and across the pool to the other. Two further bedrooms, with sloped ceilings, and a shower room are located on the second floor. There is plenty of space to relax with family and friends outside and a barbecue house preparing for meals al fresco.

The bustling Agia Marina (3km), and neighbouring Platanias, both offer long beaches, a wide choice of tavernas, boat trips and an array of water sports. For those looking to be close to wildlife and nature, Agia Lake can be reached in just 15 minutes by car, the ideal venue for walking, cycling and mountain biking through the rolling hills and pretty countryside.

  • Being located close to, Anna, means Dimosthenis could be a good choice for an extended family or a group of friends who can be near to each other whilst retaining their own individual space and privacy. Please note the villas are on different arrival days, however outside of summer months  increased flexibility is available when booking both villas.

Great Things to Do Near Dimosthenis

Wander around beautiful Chania

The original capital of the island (since 1971 that honour has been passed onto Heraklion), Chania is one of the prettiest towns in the whole of Greece  - perhaps on a par with Monemvasia, Nafplion and Corfu town. The city is reputed to be the oldest city in the world, and boasts the mix and match of Venetian and Turkish influences and architecture.

No cars in the tiny village of Loutro

Only approached by boat from Hora Sfakia in the south, this amazing tiny village has a simplicity of lifestyle and an incredible beauty untouched by the outside world. It is a town consisting of three rows of white-washed, blue-roofed hotels, restaurants and homes built around the edge of a beautiful bay. There are no tides, but simply long hot days of water, swimming and kayaking. There are no cars or motorcycles there, only boats that peacefully come and go from the little town.

Gramvoussa and Balos Bay

Visit the Gramvousa peninsula and Balos Bay at the far West tip of Crete. Daily boat trips from Kissamos-Kastelli.

Water park Limnoupolis

The water park Limnoupolis at Varipetro is an easy drive from the house.

Take a hike!

It is recommended to take a local guide with you, but no trip to Crete is complete until you walk along the deepest gorge in Europe, the Samaria Gorge.

Visit the Palace of Knossos

Excavated in the year 1900 by an English archaeologist by the name of Sir Arthur Evans, this is a most impressive palace, and we recommend that you hire a guide in order to benefit from their wealth of knowledge. This makes a great day out for all of the family.

Drive down south to....

Frangokastelo to see the old fortress - or rather its surviving walls, followed by a must-do trip up to Anopolis - the village high above Chora Sfakia. Close to the beginning of the village on the left  is the Anopolis bakery - for some of the best sfakian pies and the chance to buy the delicious local sweet rusks, honey and other baked goods. Sit outside enjoying the mountain view and an elliniko (coffee).

Ela - where?

Elafonisi (Island of Deer) is like paradise on earth, and posessess a wonderful beach with pink coral sand and crystalline waters, a small islet connected to the rest of Crete by a shallow reef that can be crossed when the sea is calm. This islet is lying on the south-west corner of Crete, the journey itself is amazing, with a narrow tunnel and stunning wild Cretan scenery. Beware in high season, it can get very busy, but is so large, there is always a peaceful spot to be found. There is an excellent taverna at the beginning of the sand dunes.

Kournas Lake

This breath-taking natural lake is the only one in Crete, home to some interesting birds and other wildlife and the brilliant aquamarine waters are a wonderful backdrop for a spot of lunch. Afterwards, you can rent pedalos or a small boat for half an hour and row yourself around the lake, and work up an appetite for supper!

Watersports

All sorts of watersports available in this part of Crete Including scuba diving, wind surfing, parascending, water skiing, kayaking, jet skiing, Rib inflatable trips and hire, surfing and fishing trips.

Explore Ancient Aptera site

Ancient Aptera near Megalo Horafia is a very interesting site with fantastic views and lots of wild flowers in spring and early summer, open 08.00 - 15.00, closed Mondays.

Agia Lake

Named Agia Lake but it is actually an old reservoir and has walking paths around it and a couple of cafes. Ornothologists may spot the glossy ibis, cranes, white storks and a variety of egrets and herons, as well as warblers and wagtails. For the dedicated bird-spotters Crete is one of the last strongholds in Europe of the Lammergeier, or Bearded Vulture – with a wingspan of almost 3 metres. There are 9 to 10 pairs on the island but they frequent higher altitudes.

Wine tasting with a bit of history

The Pnevmatikaks Winery is a delightful wine tasting venue. You can taste all their produce: different wines including Romeiko, produced the way it was done years ago, it has a taste similar to sherry and is 14.5 proof.  Recommended products from here are the olive oil and raki (tastes similar to Grappa). If you purchase wine and/or oil the bottles are packed on site in such a way that they arrive safely home.
