Villa Alexander offers self-catering accommodation with free wireless internet access and sea views. There is a lovely outdoor pool and Kalathas beach is just a short walk away. The fully furnished apartments and studios are surrounded by a beautiful garden and all have direct access to the swimming pool area. A large outdoor terrace offers the ideal place to enjoy the sunset over the Cretan Sea.

Crete. As well as the magnificent beaches and warm seas, the size and physical variety of the island of Crete invites exploration, and Villa Alexander, located at Ariadnis Street, Kalathas, 73100, Greece, is the ideal staring point. Uniquely among Greek islands, Crete’s mountainous spine creates a sense of spaciousness, a life distinct from sea and sand. Fly-drive holidays to Crete – or simply the hire of a car for some days during your stay in Villa Alexander, – will enable you to seek out the rugged formations of the interior, the fertile countryside and tiny chapels filled with frescoes, the mountain villages where time has stood still. Always, the authentic spirit of the islanders, their fierce independence and pride – as well as the best cooking and most delicious meals that constitute the famed “Cretan Diet” – will more likely be found where few others are looking. With so much to see, with dolphins to watch, shaded squares to paint, olive trees and wild orchids, Minoan remains and sweeping beaches, no wonder Crete holidays and Villa Alexander are revisited so often.
