    Great family villa - we stayed in Helios which had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The views from the villa were gorgeous and better than the photos suggested. There were incredible sunsets! It was a short downhill walk to the main village and sandy...

Built over a small cliff overlooking the picturesque bay of Almyrida, villas Thalassa and Helios are just 3 minutes walk to the Blue Flag awarded sandy beach. Open balconies, charming arches, traditional wooden windows, shades and pergolas give Thalassa and Helios cretan colour. Space, light, quality, comfort and lovely works of local artists compose the interior, furnished and decorated with love and care for the detail. There is an elegant balance between the traditional and the contemporary. What we love is the feeling of being so close to the beautiful scenery and especially the sea. In the morning, get your cup of coffee, get out to the balcony and let your eyes relax on the horizon at the north, or the impressive White Mountains behind the olive-tree covered hills at the south. At noon, observe the wind- and the parachute-surfers give their best in Almyrida, or the sea-gulls flying just meters away and diving for fish! In the evening watch the magnifiscent sunset and later have your dinner on the balcony with the little lights of Almyrida on the background and the stars above you. We would love to welcome you to what many of our guests call their home in Crete.
I am Anna and my family comes from the small village of Plaka, 1 km up the hill. I am a physicist turned translator and have lived, studied, worked and travelled in many countries in Europe and beyond. I spend the winters with my husband, Steffen, and our two children, Sofia and Mano in Germany. In summer we migrate to Crete. We stay in Plaka, so we are just 5 minutes away, in case you need us. We may pass by to say hello and emjox talking with our guests about Crete, life in Greece and elsewhere, the sightseeings not to miss, the best restaurants in Almyrida or further away, cars, tools, kids, greek history, hiking, languages or physics. We want you to have an enjoyable holiday and feel at home.
Whatever your interests are, there is something for you! From watersports to hiking, from shopping to sightseeing just a short drive (or walk!) away. You do not really need a car and you can happily forget the shuttle service! Whether to the beach, to the taverna or shopping, you can go on foot. If you forget your suncream, 'home' is only 5 minutes away. You do not need to think twice before you drink a second glass of red wine in the taverna. And if you prefer to stay near the pool, while your teenage children want to go for a swim or meet their new friends, you do not have to drive them there! Although it has become a favorite holiday area in the last few years, it is far from being a mass tourism place. There are some bars and cafes, which also organise parties and special events. But there is no wild night-life, no techno parties in the streets. Almyrida is ideal for young and old, for families or groups of friends, for you to relax and recharge your batteries. The small road passing in front of Helios and Thalassa has no through-traffic. You sit at the balcony and you can hear the waves, the birds, some kids playing... Oh! and the cicadas!
