Plaka holiday villa: Plaka/Chania

Villa Christina's stylish modern interior is very spacious, and has been designed to easily cope with Crete’s long hot summers. The marble stairwell, beautiful floor tiles, covered terraces, and traditional Cretan wooden furniture all help to this effect, as do the many terraces which provide a choice of sun or shade. The lovely lights throughout the villa were handmade at the local glass blowing factory in Kokkino Horio. Many modern comforts have been provided for including: a fully fitted, very well equipped kitchen which includes: a ceramic hob, built-in oven, a microwave oven, and a dishwasher; a utility cupboard with a washing machine; a TV, and a DVD player in the lounge; aluminium doors, window frames and shutters; and air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the living room. The a/c units also double up as heaters for the cooler nights at the start and end of the season. The water is heated by either solar panel or a back-up immersion heater.

All around the property are flowerbeds which have been planted with a variety of different plants including roses, geraniums, bougainvillea, morning glory, oleander and gerber daisies. There is a lawn with BBQ and a large area of pampus grass, and there are many trees including, conifers, palms, yucca and almond. Just next to the pool terrace is a large shady carob tree with a table and chairs which is the perfect place to relax on a hot summer’s day. The main square with shops and tavernas in Plaka is only 150m from Villa Christina and is still the focal point of village life. There are lovely shady mulberry trees under which the locals sit to watch the world go by whilst enjoying a delicious meal or an ice cold frappe. Plaka was one of the original village sets for the film “Zorba the Greek” and it still has quaint whitewashed houses and narrow streets.

All in all, Villa Christina is the perfect place for either families or couples to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing holiday with beautiful scenery.
