Villa Alba is situated 94km from Heraklion, 30km from Rethymnon and about 30km from Chania. Most flights go into Herkalion but some also go into Chania. Whilst this coastline of Crete provides numerous beaches, harbours and bays in addition to the 6km stretch of safe sandy beach close to the villa, the north west of Crete provides ample activities for non beach days. The three main cities combine history, architecture, shopping and activities- e.g. in Heraklion you can visit the Palace of Knosos and the water fun park, in Rethymon and Chania the Venetian harbours, museums and other historic buildings abound as do the wide range of shops. The Samaria & Impros Gorges reward walkers with spectacular scenery and a range of tours now provide challenging and easier option walks. Close to the villa is Lake Kournas and the town of Georgioupolis with many tavernas (some on the seafront), shops and medical facilities. Cash machines are available at the supermarkets in Kavros & in Georgioupolis
