From the manager

Villa IRINI is a private traditional property with a lovely swimming pool. It has been renovated according to the Cretan traditional architecture. It can accommodate up to eleven persons in four separate apartments which are placed in different levels.

The visitors will surely be impressed by the space which is decorated with antiques and the exterior environment which is immersed in the Cretan landscape. The charming swimming pool offers moments of relaxation and calmness under the sun, while the guests can enjoy peaceful shady spots in the yard with local mulberry trees. The upper level balconies offer a spectacular view of the gorge and mountains where goats and sheep live.

Apokoronas is a historic and beautiful area of Crete with a landscape of wild mountains and fertile valleys. It was a place where emperors and lords of Byzantine Empire could reside and enjoy wealth and beauty. Vafes is one of the villages of Apokoronas (32km far from Chania, 28km far from Rethymno and 110km far from Heraklion). It's the only village of the prefecture of Chania which has been declared a historic preservable place because of history and traditional architecture.

The beautiful stone walls outside, the traditional oven, the barbeque and the swimming pool offer the chance of a unique and peaceful stay in beautiful natural surroundings away from the bustle of tourism. Scents and colours of the thyme, oregan, jasmine and other Cretan plants and flowers give the visitors unique moments. The area has traditional cafes and taverns with delicious Cretan plates and industries with local products (wine, cheese etc.). Relax in a unique place and take a journey into the past time. Information about the area, books with Cretan nutrition and maps of the island are also provided.
