This level also includes an additional double bedroom, a large bathroom with bathtub, and a practical laundry area with all necessary amenities.
Outdoors, Villa Aphrodite shines with expansive verandas offering privacy, panoramic sea views, and elegant lounging spaces. Enjoy breakfast or a romantic dinner on the terrace, surrounded by lush gardens and overlooking the archaeological site of the ancient Minoan pottery workshops dating back more than 3,000 years — a place chosen from the Minoans not only for its unique location but also for its exceptional mild microclimate.
