Eolia Iconic Villa, walking distance to the beach, By ThinkVilla

Perfect holiday.

We stayed in this villa 5 years ago and returned again in August 2022. Our group had 12 people ranging from 9 years old to 72. Location is ideal, 5 min walk from restaurants and sea, private and spacious inside and outside. With such a good location you don't necessarily need a car , although we had one so we could enjoy occasional days out and do food shopping. Even without a car you can book day trips by bus from the various tourist shops in the village. Panormos suited us - there's >10 restaurants, a village centre with facilities, a couple of beaches (although they are small) and harbour. If you like big beaches then Panormos probably isn't for you, but there are 3 or 4 small ones with good swimming. A lot of north coast Crete beaches have rough seas, but Panormos is sheltered due to the harbours. There is a scuba dive and watersports school in the village too. The villa is split into 2 semidetached houses of 4 bedrooms + 2 bedrooms with shared outside space. Plenty of outside seating, sunbathing and dining areas. BBQ was good, I'd recommend using Lidl in Reythymno (15 mins drive) for the meat as the shop in village doesn't have a great choice. Only small gripe is that in the early evening there isn't much seating in the shade before 8pm, but it's great in mornings to sit in shade with a coffee. Pool is perfect for cooling off and is ~10-12m long and no deeper than 1.4m. Overall, a wonderful villa in a wonderful location for quiet family retreats, I would gladly return :-)

Great communication with think villa and Vrbo , very easy to book ,Valia was very helpful and knowledgable locally . The Villa was outstanding ! Clean ,well appointed and in a great position for the beach and village . Everything a family could need .

Een feest voor mijn kinderen en kleinkinderen. Een prachtige villa, alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Fantastische ontvangst met eten voor deze hongerige reisgenoten Halverwege de week werd het hele huis weer schoongemaakt. Kortom we hebben heel erg genoten. Dankjewel.

Wir haben hier einen erholsamen Familienurlaub (12 Personen) verbracht. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter (Check in, Rückfragen zum Objekt, Zusatzdecken) verlief stets sehr freundlich und schnell. Das Haus war sauber und hatte alles, was man braucht im Urlaub. Es gab zusätzlich sogar einen Handtuch- / Wäschewechsel zur Wochenmitte. Fussläufig gibt es Tavernen, kleine Shops und einen Supermarkt. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
