The Neighborhood:
Ravdoucha Epavlis is located just 500m from the village center and less than 2km from the nearest beach. The area is one of the still unspoiled regions of Crete, overlooking the Kissamos bay. Guests can find numerous entertainment options, restaurants, and fish taverns in the nearby village of Kissamos (15km) or Platanias (20km), where they can also find more organized services such as banks, post offices, and full-size supermarkets.

The area offers a wide variety of beaches, both organized and unorganized, for every taste, with some offering boat rental services and water activities. Some of the nearby beaches include Ravdoucha (1.8km), Skotini (2km), Agios Vasilios (3km), Nopigia (8.6km), Chonis (10km), Korfalonas (13km), and the infamous Elafonisi beach (24km).

The location of the villa is an ideal starting point for the exploration of the numerous natural and historic sights of the area. Guests can take a stroll in the picturesque alleyways of the old town of Chania (34km) with the ancient Venetian bay, where they will have the opportunity to admire many monuments of the last 800 years, such as the renowned Egyptian lighthouse. This is also the place for a cosmopolitan night out.

Guests should not miss out on visiting the majestic Castle of Apteron (37km), built on the highest point of the valley of Apokoronas. For a unique hiking experience, guests can explore the gorge of Samaria (55km), a true wonder of nature with countless visitors per year for its rare natural beauty. Scuba diving enthusiasts can visit the magnificent underwater Cave of the Elephants (60km), which was discovered just 30 years ago near the Kokkino Chorio (Red Village), plot of Anthony Queen's "Zorba the Greek".

Finally, guests can organize a daily excursion to the lake Kournas (70km), the only natural freshwater lake of Crete, and enjoy the breathtaking views and unique experiences that this area has to offer.
