Almyrida is located on the north-western coast of Crete and is about 30 kilometres from Chania airport. Car hire and airport transfers are available from the airport. Alternatively, there is a regular airport bus service into Chania and from there out to Almyrida.

Almyrida is a small seaside resort situated in a sheltered bay with several sandy beaches with Blue Flag status, perfect for swimming. The village has a good selection of family-friendly tavernas along the beach front, some with seating on the beach, perfect for a relaxed meal. There are several little supermarkets, a pharmacy, souvenir shops and a couple of bakers.

For the active, there is a scuba diving and snorkelling company based in the village and, in the summer, canoes and windsurfing boards are available for hire on the beach front. There are many beautiful walks in the countryside around Almyrida.

Wonderful Family Holiday in Crete

We had a fabulous time at Pindarakis. We cannot recommend this villa and the access it provides you to beautiful Almyrida and wider Crete. The villa is clean and has everything that you and your family need for a beach holiday. It is set back from the town, only a short 5 minute walk away, so very quiet at night. The kitchen is well kitted out for all you need for self catering. The air conditioning was reliable. The guide books were very helpful as we explored the island. The complex was quiet and well cared for. The pools were excellent, clean and cool. Great for new or confident swimmers. Almyrida is a lovely village, very welcoming with everything you need for your stay. The supermarket is well stocked with all you need. You can get slightly cheaper and wider range of food in Kalyves, the next town over. We had a car but you could easily get by without using the great local buses and tours that you can book in the village. We loved the villa and are so grateful for our two magical weeks there. Thank you very much for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Mr and Mrs Pindar

Chris and I live in Bradford on Avon, a little market town near Bath, Wiltshire.

The villa is our second home which we visit in the spring and autumn. We lend it to family and friends and, for a few weeks a year, rent it out to visitors. The villa has the appropriate certificates from the Greek government (EOT).

We love the villa, Almyrida and all that Crete has to offer, and enjoy helping others to experience the same. We know what makes a holiday property good for those visiting it and ensure the property is well maintained and equipped for comfort.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for ourselves because it is really only a very short walk to a very attractive and accessible beach (Blue Flag status) and a good choice of tavernas, bars and little shops. Several of the restaurants allow you to sit out on the beach, marvellous in the warm evenings.

Almyrida is considered one of the best seaside resorts in Crete for a tranquil environment. There is plenty to do in Almyrida itself - walking, swimming, water sports, snorkelling and scuba diving.

The villa has four terraces/balconies on different sides of the villa which can be used to seek shade or sun. The shared patio areas are spacious.

The villa is well-designed and tastefully decorated. It is spacious enough for 6 people to be comfortable.

Lastly, it is good value for money compared to other villas with pools.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of outdoor private space - two terraces and two upstairs balconies - all with seating areas. Stunning views of the White Mountains from the upstairs balconies.

Away from main roads - the road to the villa is a cul de sac. It is on the outskirts of the village yet easy walking distance to beach and tavernas. Small complex with two shared pools and private owners. Three bedrooms and open plan sitting room/dining area and kitchen. Air conditioning !
