Location

Villa AnnaNiko is located near the village of Gerani, a short drive west from the town of Chania in NW Crete.
The island combines history, culture, a stunning coastline, exquisite cuisine and an unbeatable landscape, creating a perfect holiday destination, whatever the season.
The prefecture of Chania, at the westernmost of the island, is characterized by its great natural beauty. With endless sandy beaches, gorges, caves, endemic plants and animals, vast olive and orange groves and a combination of wild landscapes and crystal seas, Crete excites even the most demanding travellers. The mountainous inland hosts small picturesque villages that seem untouched by time, scattered churches, towers and castles. The whole of Crete is a particularly interesting archaeological site and its monuments witness its stormy history: Roman ruins, secluded monasteries, Minoan cities, Byzantine chapels, Turkish minarets are some of the picturesque scenes of Crete.
Western Crete is a real paradise for the active traveler offering a large network of ancient trails and shepherd paths for the walker, a wealth of quiet back roads with stunning views for the cyclist and great underwater sites for the diver.
The mild Mediterranean climate, the renowned Cretan diet, the acquaintance with local traditions and the warm hospitality of the islanders are always pleasant highlights.
Sights as the famous Samaria Gorge, the Minoan Palace of Knossos, the fascinating Falasarna beach, the villages of the White Mountains and the rugged beaches of the South, are all places you can visit on a day’s tour from Villa AnnaNiko.
Villa AnnaNiko will be your hideaway whether you want to explore Crete and its culture, study the indigenous flora, roam the mountainous villages, contemplate the Venetian architecture or simply relax in a peaceful setting and unwind.
