Surrounded by the lush greenery of the garden and panoramic sea views, Villa Proton is well-situated a short distance from Chania in a Cretan village boasting a supermarket, tavernas, and historic sites including an olive mill, Venetian wells, and a folklore museum.
Several spectacular beaches are close at hand, including Omprogialos Beach and Koutalas Beach. The beach is ideal for relaxation and families thanks to its golden sand, clear water, and protection from the elements.
The nearby Elephant Cave is an extraordinary diving spot, and the Archaeological Site of Aptera can be found on the drive to Chania. Aptera was once one of the most important city-states in Crete. Located on a plateau above Souda Bay, the site boasts ruins of the city fortifications, Roman cisterns and houses, a double-parted sanctuary, and even an ancient necropolis.
Chania itself is one of Crete’s two main cities. Walk through the old port’s picturesque alleys and historic neighbourhoods, stroll along to its 16th-century lighthouse and indulge yourself in the irresistible Cretan atmosphere and cuisine. Check out Chania’s Municipal Gardens to enjoy a cup of traditional Greek coffee in one of the island’s oldest and most atmospheric cafeterias, the Kipos Café.
Crete is a fantastic place for hiking, perhaps most notably in the Samaria Gorge where you’ll find the deserted village of Samaria along with breath-taking natural landscapes and a wide range of flora and fauna including the rare species of wild goat known as the kri-kri.
