Enjoying a truly privileged location close to shops, restaurants and just 200m from the nearest top-rated beaches, this villa is the perfect choice for all those guests who are looking for a relaxing Cretan holiday while being a few steps away from sandy beaches and local attractions. The neighbourhood is very quite giving the opportunity to our guests to find confort and relaxation at the sunbeds of Villa Penelope's private pool and beautiful shaded outdoor area. Located on one of the most famous roads of Eastern Crete, Villa Penelope combines peace and quite with easy access to sightseeing and activities around the area . In approximately 150-200m you will find a small white & blue church that seems to have come straight out of a fairytale and then a coast emerges offering breathtaking views of never ending blue sea and romantic sunsets. A guest can enjoy a walk to the area's main road where all the small local shops,restaurants and bars are located anytime they want without having to consider about distance,google maps or parking simply because everything is right next door. Our neighborhood being almost at the resort's center, enjoys safety and security first and foremost due to its location.Gouves is a quite and family friendly resort and when it comes to safety there are no compromises.
