A rural picturesque village with charm, is an ideal setting for a relaxing vacation. We chose Loutra, a serene medieval village in Rethymno Prefecture, for its timeless charm and breathtaking sea views that capture the soul of Crete. Villa Kallergi is our family heritage home and the Kallergi family has historic connections with the area and island of Crete. Nestled centrally on the island, it offers easy access to both coasts and cultural treasures, though the lack of a nearby airport adds a peaceful seclusion, perfect for those planning their summer getaway during the April-November season. This area’s rich history, with its winding streets and natural beauty, inspired us to create a retreat that blends tradition with comfort, making it an ideal heaven for families and groups seeking an authentic Cretan experience away from the bustle. Villa Kallergi Athena has 6 bedroom suites, each with its own private entrance, making it especially unique for groups who want both togetherness and privacy. That setup is a huge plus compared to typical villas with shared corridors or common entrances. - Location Perks: Situated in the medieval village of Loutra, Crete, it offers sea views and proximity to beaches, enhancing its appeal for a scenic, cultural vacation.
