Villa Icarus is a beautifully presented, fully air-conditioned, modern villa with 3 bedrooms that will comfortably sleep up to 6. The villa is single storey with a spacious roof terrace (with table and chairs) thereby creating another sun bathing area apart from the terraces around the pool.
Villa Icarus has been completed throughout in a modern style in keeping with its exterior design. Patio doors from the comfortably furnished lounge open up directly on to the pool terrace and the wonderful sea views across Souda Bay. There is a TV, DVD and music system for your entertainment.
The comprehensively equipped kitchen/ diner area has a full cooker with a 4-ring hob and oven, a fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine; most of these appliances are in stainless steel. There is also a kettle, a toaster and an iron and ironing board.
There are 3 bedrooms, two of them are double and one is a twin (single bed with another single which pulls out from underneath). One of the double rooms has an en-suite shower room and there is also a family bathroom. All bedrooms have ample storage space. The master bedroom has French doors opening on to a small patio.
Outside, on the front terrace is a mosaic tiled infinity swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas. If you tire of the pool, the little pebble beach at Kera is just across the road (and down a track).
This villa is in a very convenient location and is an excellent choice for those clients who do not wish to hire a car for the duration of their holiday. Almirida’s sandy beach and facilities are a mere 15 minutes walk from the Villa Icarus.

Local activities in and around Almirida, Crete
Almirida and Kalives - The White Mountains dominate the area and provide a dramatic backdrop to the sandy beaches at Almirida, Kalives and Georgeoupolis. The Apokoronas area is also well known for its traditional inland villages such as Vamos, Kefalas, Plaka and Kokkino Chorio. In the last few years visitors from Northern Europe have become so enchanted with Apokoronas that many have bought homes here which has brought new life and tourist facilities to the area. This also means that there are now sophisticated and luxury villas available to rent in Crete. Most of our properties are situated slightly inland, away from the madding crowd, in the most sought after locations but with the beaches and sea close at hand.
The large bay that makes up the seaside resorts of Almirida and Kalives has many separate, safe, sandy beaches, usually with full facilities. Almirida, once a fishing village is now a thriving seaside resort with a windsurfing school and tavernas and bars lining the sea front. There are a couple of mini-markets, a bakery, patisserie, a wine shop and a newsagents. Mountain bikes can be hired and there is also a small taxi rank. There is a limited bus service to Kalives and Chania. Just at the entrance to Almirida archeologists discovered an ancient Mosaic which belongs to the 5th century.
Kalives is a working village as well as being a tourist destination so in addition to the beaches, tavernas, bars and tourist shops you will find many local shops as well as a fairly big supermarket. Banking, post office and petrol station facilities are available in Kalives. There is a bus service to Chania.
Crete Escapes will send you detailed directions to the villa once you have paid your balance (due no later than 6 weeks prior to travel).
