About this property

400 sqft Studio with integrated kitchen and separate bathroom, large double bed and extra sofabed, seaview, private gazebo and private sunbathing terrace directly on shore. Completely renovated 2022 with new kitchen, appliances and even more seaview.

The beach studio KOLOKITHA is located in the first row 50 ft. from the waterline a small flock of three separated cottages on a beautiful and safe plot of land. (Fenced) Few steps to the sea. Nicely renovated 1 studio cottages with vaulted high ceiling, ca. 400 sq.ft. (about 37 square meters), large comfortable double bed (King size), separate sofa/bed, view to the sea, inside and outside eating area, built in kitchen, separate windowed bathroom with marble tiling, Shower, sink, toilet. Studio room has full A/C. Private outside Gazebos with table and chairs, with unobstructed view to the sea. It would be hard to be closer to the sea or in a more relaxing spot with the soft sound of the waves around you. And it would be hard to find such a safe location far away from the big cities but still in short walking distance (ca. 650 ft, ca. 200m) of a friendly little fishing village with many original tavernas and cafes. A bus stop close.

You will have your private studio with seaview, a private outside area that is separated from the 2 other cottages with tall natural stone walls. Your outside area has an eating place, shade by a pergola as well as a private sunbathing platform with seaview.

You have an english and greek speaking host that lives a few miles away. she can organise for you e.g a rental car and is there for you regularly.

relaxed beach atmosphere, the sun, the soft sound of the waves... pure holiday

The cottages are located ca 100 meters from Plaka village, just a short walk along or behind Plaka Beach. Plaka has many taverns and cafés as well as a beach bar. On very rare occasions (2-3 times during the whole summer season) there is life music in one of the restaurants or beach bar that can be heard over the bay also in the cottages. It usually stops at 23.00

Please note that from 2024 on the greek government requires all guests of Villassmaller than 80 m2 to pay an environmental fee of 1.5€ per property and night during your stay in summer season. (eg. 4.5 € for 3 nights). Please pay this either by Credit card or in cash to our host on Crete after your arrival and we will forward it directly to the authorities.

Wunderbare Lage

Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist wunderschön. Das Meer und das Rauschen in unmittelbarer Nähe… Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse ein Erlebnis. Man sollte allerdings Mittel gegen Moskitos nicht vergessen! Insgesamt: wunderschön!

Einmalig!

Kurz gesagt: ein einmaliges Erlebnis! Perfekte Lage, direkt an einem wunderbaren Strand, super Ausstattung! Ich hatte noch nach einem anderen Kissen gefragt und zwei Stunden später war es auf dem Zimmer. Obwohl wir die Gastgeberin erst am Ende der Reise gesehen haben, hat sie es trotzdem geschafft, dass man sich sehr willkommen und gut aufgehoben gefühlt hat. Tolle Leistung und vielen Dank :) gerne wieder!!

Amazing Location -private and relaxing

My husband and I stayed at at the cottages (we had the middle one) it was the perfect place. We had flown in from Athens and this was just what we wanted, a quiet place to relax and a small little town to walk to for drinks and meals. This was our “relaxing” part of our trip in between Athens and Santorini. We swam at the beach everyday, and walked into town (5 mins) every evening. The trip to island of Spingola was interesting, would recommend. Can catch a ferry boat for 9Euros or so round trip, pick up is just a 5 min walk into town. As for cottage, it was quiet, easy to park with the private lot (we rented a car) and be sure to follow the directions given by host, easier route than by GPS which would put you on smaller roads. We have saved this VRBO in our favorites and would definitely stay again. Thank you!
