Just 20 minutes from Heraklion airport, tucked away on the hillsides of the northern coast of Crete, you will find the village Episkopi.

A tradition deeply rooted in the Cretan way of life. So being a guest here will show you first hand what Cretan hospitality really means.

Villa Helidona is a beautifully renovated 19th century traditional Cretan stone house with a large private pool and garden. Let the atmosphere enchant you. Antique furniture, Cretan traditional furniture, original artwork and hand-woven carpets create a unique environment. This stunning and spacious home provides all the comfort you need for a great vacation.
Large private pool 13x 6 m - the pool area offers complete privacy for sunbathing and swimming. Garden with fruit trees and vegetable garden (all organic) you can help yourself to any ripe fruits or vegetables.
