Villa Metaxas  

In Malevizi, a family-friendly villa just minutes from Ammoudara Beach. You're within a 15-minute drive of Heraklion Port and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum; Palace of Knossos is about 13.5 km and Nikos Kazantzakis Airport is roughly 15 km away.

Air-conditioned villas with island-modern touches feature fireplaces, private pools and furnished balconies or patios. Each unit has a full kitchen with full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven and stovetop, satellite TV/DVD players and some bathrooms include jetted tubs and separate showers.

Take a dip in your private pool or the outdoor pool, keep fit in the 24-hour fitness center, or splash at the aquapark and diving club. The property also offers a massage room, concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), a tour desk and transfer assistance — perfect for quick beach runs and sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet access across the property, luggage storage, laundry facilities and an elevator make stays easy. Free self-parking is available on site, and car rental/safe-deposit services can be arranged through the concierge.

Casual on-site options include a picnic area and barbecue area for DIY meals and relaxed outdoor dining.
