Villa Apo Petra resides in an enviable position just outside the village of Kokkino Chorio where, back in the 60s, the film Zorba the Greek was filmed with Antony Quinn. Kokkino Chorio really is a traditional village which maintains its farming roots. Its envious location enjoys amazing sea and mountain views. 
 
Villa Apo Petra is fully air-conditioned in all the bedrooms and main living area. For the cooler months there is also central heating for your comfort. We have everything covered for families with TVs/DVDs in all bedrooms, toys, games, pool and beach inflatables as well as badminton and volleyball sets. There is also a PlayStation 2 in the lounge with plenty of games and a portable ipod station you can use either in the house or down at the pool (our children never get bored and irritable!). For adults there is a large selection of DVDs to watch should you wish to have a night in. There are reading books and maps on the area and local recommendations for restaurants and places of interest. Apart from all that the many outside seating areas with the stunning views of the sunrise, sunset and in the evening to look up and see the amazing blanket of stars overhead is enough to fill your time over a glass of wine or a local Raki. 
 
Villa Apo Petra is situated on the side of a mountain and the terraces and gardens are on different levels. We have made the grounds secure for young children with gates and railings (we have 3 children ourselves and understand the need for safety around property).  
 
Villa Apo Petra stands in half an acre of land. We have 3 terraces/balconies attached to the house. One off the master and twin rooms which is beautifully tiled and perfect for morning coffee watching the sun rise. From the lounge, there is a pergola covered balcony, again, tiled with a lockable gate which leads to the side of the property and out onto the lower gravelled eating area. The 3rd terrace is off of the downstairs bedroom and ideal for meals with a marble table and chairs. Extensive planting is ongoing at the property and includes citrus trees and oleander to add colour and enhance the surroundings of this beautiful setting. The pool is 40sq.m, has its own shower, and is furnished with high quality loungers and umbrellas for shade. The pool commands a fantastic position to lay back and look out to sea, watch the birds of prey soar overhead and listen to the local shepherd herding his sheep. 
 
7 minutes drive away from the villa is the blue flagged beach resort of Almyrida. The gentle sloping beach make it very safe for small children. The more active holidaymakers can make use of the windsurfing school, take out a catamaran or snorkel off the rocks. Kalives is a 15 mins drive and larger than its sister Almyrida with 3 main stretches of beach. If you prefer a quiet cove there is one just 5 mins drive from us, secluded, picturesque ideal for diving and snorkeling. 
 
Car hire is essential. The nearest airport is Chania (40 minutes drive). Heraklion airport is approximately 2 hours away.  
 
A 45 minute drive away is a fabulous Water Park. In Chania you will find many museums. Souda Bay is home to the Greek Navy and Airbase and some wonderful displays of fighter planes over the bay is the norm on practice days. The bay is also busy with naval frigates, cruise liners and the Athens ferry. There is never a dull moment. All of this can be seen from the villa.  
 
We have a set of additional photos of the villa and the area if our potential guests would like to see more before they book with us. If you have any hesitations at all please call us on our land line number to speak to us directly. We are always happy to supply references. Thank you.
