Villa Atalandia: A stunning beachfront villa with panoramic sea views, private pool, and luxurious amenities.

Key Highlights
- Villa Atalandia is a stunning huge villa with 6 beautifully bedrooms, but what we especially love about it, is that it is a villa of two halves, each floor is complete in itself, great for two families.
- We loved the flexibility of some of the rooms, the studio can become a baby room or fitness studio, the office can become a bedroom, there’s always room for manoeuvre at Villa Atalandia
- The sea view tiered terrace has to be seen to be believed, it is epic, but what we really loved was the steps down to the super-size swimming pool, with its four splash pools, great fun for all the family
- Villa Atalandia is secluded & private, yet a great place to host a party or wedding reception, it really does tick all the boxes
- Bookings of 7 nights or more get one complimentary transfer from Heraklion/ Sitia airport
