Tucked away in the coastal village of Mochlos, Melitina is a luxurious waterfront villa where families can unwind after exploring the hidden side of Crete at its best. A selection of arty cafes, bars and tavernas are within walking distance of the villa and are especially worth a visit at night when the lights are reflected in the water. Those in the know return to Mochlos again and again due to its bohemian charm and the warm hospitality of the locals. Spacious and comfortable, Melitina is stylishly furnished with thoughtful extra touches to ensure a relaxing holiday, from a dedicated area for massage and spa treatments (available on request) to a sauna and private home cinema on the lower ground floor. Each day begins with an indulgent morning as daily breakfast is served at the villa, while the three en-suite bedrooms are furnished with comfy beds and luxury linens to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. The outside of Melitina is equally enticing, with immaculate landscaped gardens, several terrace areas with views of the sea and an infinity pool. The villa can be booked independently, or alongside the neighbouring villa Kalloni. Both villas are completely private but offer a great opportunity for two families travelling together as a group. Local area and things to do Our local concierge can arrange groceries and drinks to be delivered before and during your stay at Melitina, but there is also plenty to do locally to tempt you away from the villa. Mochlos beach and charming seafront tavernas a 5-minute walk away, while a day trip to Agios Nikolaos and Sitia is an option as both are within an hour’s drive away.
