This is a great choice for a restful stay on Crete. You’ll find this villa in the hilltop area of Rodia, a former Venetian settlement known for its excellent tavernas – you don’t have to walk far for a good meal here. This home looks out over the Gulf of Crete so the views are top-notch, and the outside space is peaceful and pretty. We love the different seating areas around the pool – you can easily slip away for a quiet moment here. There are only three bathrooms, so you might have to wait a little while for your shower each morning – at least you’ll have those views to take your mind off it though.


The Plum Promise

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Local guide


About Heraklion Town

Affectionately dubbed ‘small Athens’, Heraklion is Crete’s largest and most populated city. What started out as a fortified harbour town has grown into a bona fide tourist hotspot, popular for its year-round warm weather and palm-tree-lined seaside promenade. You only have to glance at a photo of its glistening port to understand why this place attracts so many visitors each year, but Heraklion has much more to offer than just...
