Villa Nikos
Megala Chorafia - Villa
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
Built on the hillside below the village of Megala Chorafia, guests at Villa Nikos can look forward to relaxing in the company of wonderful views encompassing the whole of Souda Bay, with the wider sea beyond, an ever changing nautical scene. Across the bay, the Akrotiri Peninsular forms a perfect backdrop.
This well thought out Villa, with all accommodation on one level, has been designed to make holiday living as uncomplicated as it should be. With a colour palette chosen to harmonize with the land/seascape, the interior is pared back yet comfortable and practical. Step through the sliding doors onto the terrace and the eye-catching infinity pool, surrounded by quality sun beds, awaits. Bonus for those who love to social media as the Starlink satellite provides fast wifi service.
Location Megala Chorafia
Just 10 mins walk up the hill or maybe a little longer, (it’s fairly steep so sigar, sigar - slowly slowly in Greek) is the village of Megala Chorafia, catering well for the holiday maker, there’s a well stocked mini market and three tavernas. If you prefer to drive, you follow the one way road downhill then back up again but walk or drive it’s a short and easy return journey.
Although the village has everything you need, Villa Nikos is very well placed to explore the island further, being just a couple of minutes drive from the North Coast Road. The quiet beach at Kiani is an easy 3 mins drive, the buzzing little resort of Kalives 5 mins and Chania Venetian Harbour front is less than 30 mins away.
For a change of scene and some excellent freshly caught fish - head for Souda, just 10 mins away and very popular with the locals.

Fabulous villa with great views and local tavernas
Joan (United Kingdom)

The villa was immaculate and well equipped with 3 tavernas and a local shop a short walk up the hill, so convenient. Lots to see in Suda Bay when lounging in the pool or patio. So relaxing.

We really enjoyed the fact that we could walk up to the restaurants in the village - our favorite being the Taverna Aptera. |

You will not be disappointed! We arrived at night so couldn’t see much. However when we woke up in the morning, what a surprise. The views are simply breathtaking. The pictures don’t do it justice.
The villa itself is perfectly put together and extremely comfortable. We are a family of 6 +1 baby and had plenty of space. The surrounding area is lovely and you're central to all the local towns etc. We would recommend a visit to Old Town Chania, Wine tasting in the hills at Dourakis winery and a meal at the local Taverna "The Aptera" |

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Nikos! The villa is gorgeous and modern. It feels brand new. It is exactly as pictured in the photos, and was spacious and comfortable.
The light switches are all labeled, and there are instructions for everything, which was helpful. They left us water, wine, and snacks in the fridge, and the owner stopped by during our visit to drop off pastries, which was really kind. The property manager was extremely responsive to the the few questions we had. The location was a lot better than what I was expecting. There is a mini-mart as well as three restaurants only a minutetwo away by car, and we ate at one of them (Taverna Aptera) three times - the food was so good and the owner was wonderful! The beach and town of Kalyves are also only a few minutes away by car, and downtown Chania was only 15so minutes away, which was a lot closer than I had been expecting. Overall, we had a great stay at this beautiful house. |

The villa has a very nice infinity pool, a large barbeque and several seating areas around the house. The villa is well equipped.

Special praise also goes to the entire team of freelance villas for the always friendly support and helpful recommendations.

Due to the location of the villa, it is very sunny and you only have shade under the sun protection on the house from late morning.

Villa Nikos and the Freelance Holidays team were outstanding. The villa is beautifully decorated, with modern finishes everywhere. We had everything we could have possibly needed. The pool area is gorgeous and the view is out of this world. Honestly the best bit. Everywhere was incredibly clean, which is obviously super important during Covid times. The team were always so attentive and responsive whenever we needed. I would highly recommend this place to stay.
