Villa Malena is ideally situated in the charming village of Sfakaki, which has blossomed into a sought-after seaside resort. This location offers a perfect blend of amenities for either a relaxing holiday or permanent residence. A mere 10-minute walk from the villa lies a pristine, sandy beach, favored not only by visitors but also by the endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles that choose this spot for nesting. The village itself is equipped with all necessities within easy reach, including a supermarket, bakery, and pharmacy. The convenience is further enhanced by the proximity to the highway, enabling easy exploration of Crete’s stunning landscapes and rustic villages.
Sfakaki offers more than just beautiful beaches; it’s a gateway to the rich culture and history of Crete. Take time to visit the local tavernas and restaurants to savor traditional Cretan and Mediterranean cuisine. The coastal beach bars provide a perfect setting for enjoying a coffee while overlooking the sea. For a broader cultural experience, drive to the city of Rethymno to explore its Venetian architecture, vibrant markets, and local art scenes. The central location also makes it feasible to plan day trips to other parts of Crete, such as the bustling city of Heraklion, only an hour away.
Guests at Villa Malena can enjoy a variety of activities without venturing far. The nearby beach invites you to sunbathe, swim, and participate in water sports. Explore the local area on foot to appreciate its natural beauty or take a short drive to Stavromenos and Skaleta for additional services like a butcher shop and an ATM. For those interested in a deeper exploration of Crete, the highway provides quick access to the island’s many attractions, including the historic city of Rethymno, just a 15-minute drive away.
