Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SiriusVilla Sirius is located in Kontomari village, 3km away from Maleme, 4km away from the beach and 5km away from Platanias, known to be the most popular resort of the west of Crete. Every year the beach of Maleme gains the Blue Flag for its cleanliness and safety, it is partly organized and less crowded than others in the area, ideal for families.
Chania, the capital of Crete, is one of the most famous towns of the Greek islands, particularly for its authentic culture and character and historic structures including its beautiful Venetian Harbour. It is an incredibly well-preserved Venetian town with all kinds of Medieval architecture, framing a bustling metropolis of museums, churches, narrow shopping streets, waterfront restaurants and crafts shops. Alongside the stunning coastal areas and mountainous landscapes are an array of outstanding remains and glorious buildings of an ancient era, including a picturesque harbourfront and interesting venetian lighthouse.
Chania is also the perfect location to try all kinds of local cuisine, wine and traditional feasts – some of the best local restaurants include: The Well of the Turk, Antigoni, Karnagio, Chrysostomos and Above Chania. Furthermore, for educational and historical adventures you can visit the Maritime Museum, or the Archaeological Museum, or take a trip to one of the many surrounding monasteries or historical sites including the Samaria Gorge, Venizelos Graves or the unique architectural complex of Tabakaria.
To the north of the island are the more touristic beach areas, and to the south are the more secluded and traditional beaches, punctuated by small seaside villages, and of course there are thousands of deserted coves and isolated bays for private enjoyment, if you look hard enough! The West Coast beaches of soft sand and coloured pebbles, such as Falasarna, are around 38km away from Villa Sirius, and the South Coast beaches with beautiful crystal waters, including Sougia, are about 53km away.

How to reach Chania
There are two ways to reach Chania: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: Chania Airport (CHQ) is only a 20 minutes ride away from central Chania. During the summer months, frequents overseas and domestic flights are performed. In most of the cases, there are available buses that connect Chania city and most of the villas. You can also hire a car from one of the many rental companies at the airport, or alternatively get a taxi to bring you right to your doorstep.
By ferry: If you choose to do an island-hopping trip and use the ferry as a method of transportation, then the closest port is in Souda, only 8km from the centre of Chania. Only ferries from Piraeus in Athens or Heraklion in Crete. Heraklion port has a wider choice: you can also take a ferry from other Greek islands like Santorini, Mykonos or Paros, but you will have to take a longer bus ride to reach your villa. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCrete is an excellent destination for families with children, offering a mix of safe, sandy beaches like Elafonissi and Falassarna with shallow waters ideal for paddling, and charming villages where kids can roam freely. The region also provides a wealth of gentle outdoor adventures, from boat trips to the pirate island of Gramvousa to easy hikes through shaded gorges. With welcoming locals, child-friendly tavernas, and a slower pace of life, it’s a stress-free environment where families can truly relax and reconnect.
With an enclosed private pool and garden area, playground and table tennis, Villa Sirius is an ideal choice for families with children. Evening barbeques and outdoor meals are always popular with families! The surroundings provide ample opportunities to explore and enjoy the outdoor activities Crete has to offer, with options for children of all ages.

The villa looks exactly like the photos!
The location is very quiet and away from mass tourism; a car is necessary. Milk, eggs, butter, bread, jam, honey, and even a cake were provided upon arrival, and we were treated to delicious treats throughout our stay. The hosts are very friendly and were always easy to reach, yet we still had complete privacy. The cleaning ladies were also very friendly. We felt very comfortable. Thank you for the pleasant stay!
