Mochlos holiday

In General: Villa Alkestis is undoubtedly the best choice for your holidays on Crete, especially if you are looking for peace and quiet in a friendly environment with a traditional flavour and modern amenities, a place with a unique view and atmosphere, which you can use as a starting-point for long or short excursions into the countryside, to picturesque villages and fantastic beaches, pretty little towns or traditional events and fiestas. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy the famous Cretan Cooking at its best in the local tavernas and buy the best agricultural and traditional products to take home with you. If you would rather explore the secret side of Crete with its hidden treasures and traditions, the virgin east coast is the place to start. We can provide you with clues. The family members know the whole area extremely well and are experienced in the field of alternative tourism.
