Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RheaThe villa has an excellent location within a small, private gated community close to the village of Kaliviani, where a range of amenities can be found. The nearest beach can be found just a few-minutes away at Gramvoussa Bay, although we recommend venturing a little further and heading to either Falassarna or Balos Lagoon, both of these beautiful beaches are around twenty-minutes away by car. The closest resort, Kissamos, is around ten-minutes away and boasts a wider selection of amenities. The airport, Chania International, is conveniently located just under an hour 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 AgesThe villas are great for families. There are highchairs and cots available for babies and toddlers. The outside area is good for evening barbecues.
Nearby Gramvoussa Beach is sandy and the rugged coastline provides great snorkelling. A boat to the little island with a venetian fortress on will provide interest for toddlers and older children alike. Other days out can include the lagoon at Balos, the Monastery at Elafonissi and for older kids the Samana gorge.

Heaven on Earth
We spent 10 days in July in the Villa Rhea with 2 adults and 2 teenagers (17 and 15 years). From the 1st minute we arrived we felt most welcome. Eleni is an angel, she took care for everything you could think of. All recommendations she gave were really great especially the sailing tour from Kissamos to Balos beach.
The house itself is pretty stylish and there are two seperate sleeping rooms. Air condition worked without any problems, we never had any issues with hot water or electricity. Cleaning of the house took place every day, change of towels as well.
We will definitely come back to this lovely place. -
Ticks all the boxes for us

We just keep coming back year after year!
We keep returning for so many reasons: fantastic location with gorgeous views, friendly staff, super clean homes, impeccable layouts of the houses, ease of getting to the beaches and restaurants and grocery stores. I truly can't say enough good things to do the property justice. We will return again next summer!
