Our review

This stone built villa Kalithea is located in Pemonia, a village in the broader area of Apokoronas in Hania, a well-known and famous area for its natural beauty.

The genuine Cretan countryside, offers possibilities for any form of ecotourism or alternative tourism in the mountains or on the beaches. Away from indiscrete eyes in a setting of absolute quiet and relaxation, just a few metres from the beach but also from cosmopolitan centres.

The warmth of the mountainous scenery and the mild Cretan winters make Pemonia an ideal destination for winter getaways; at the same time, its proximity to the picturesque beaches of Kalyves and Almyrida (only 9 km away) and the endless beaches of Georgioupolis (8 km away) provides an alternative solution for wonderful summer vacations.

Inside a garden of 1.200 square metre surface, is the main building of the villa with a surface of 200 square metres as well as a pool with a surface of 50 square metres and panoramic view. A green valley of olive trees, the Lefka Ori massif and the blue horizon of the Aegean Sea make up a dreamy background, one you think you can almost touch just by reaching out with your hands.

In the village you can find only basic supplies but if you go as far as Kalyves (9 km) and Vrysses (4km) you will find big supermarkets where you can buy anything you like.

In the nearby villages at less than 2 km away, there are many traditional taverns serving genuine traditional Cretan dishes made with excellent local products:
 Agioi Pantes (just 1.5 km away)-Tzitzifes (1.5 km away) and Melidoni (2 km away). Of course, a little farther away you will find many more seaside taverns and restaurants in Kalyves, Georgioupolis, Almyrida and Armeni.

Less than 500 metres away from Villa Kallithea, your walk will take you to the Byzantine church of Saint George dating back to the 16th century, or the gorge that begins at the village exit. If you feel up to a little more walking, you will reach Melidoni, a mountain village, where after approximately 2 km, you will be able to begin the exploration of the rugged slopes of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains); if you do not wish to walk all the way there, you may go as far as the mountain by car.

Nearby villages, such as Stylos (6 km away) and Armeni (5 km away) might also interest you because of their natural beauty. There you may choose to rest under the great plane trees by the river and have lunch. The lake of Kournas (9 km away) is registered in the Natura 2000 project as a protected habitat. Approximately 9 km farther away is Vamos with refurbished traditional buildings that house taverns, coffee shops etc.

The beaches of Kalyves, Almyrida and Georgioupolis (9 km away) extend a refreshing invitation for swimming. If you are looking for night entertainment, Kalyves and Georgioupolis will offer you a plethora of options that can please even the most demanding taste; for a more cosmopolitan flair, you should try the cities of Hania or Rethymno at a distance of approximately 26 km
