The space
50 ft. from the waterline a small flock of three separated cottages on a beautiful and safe plot of land. (Fenced) Few steps to the sea. Nicely renovated 1 studio cottages with vaulted high ceiling, ca. 400 sq.ft. (about 37 square meters), large comfortable double bed (King size), separate sofa/bed, view to the sea, inside and outside eating area, built in kitchen, separate windowed bathroom with marble tiling, Shower, sink, toilet. Free 24/7 wifi and satelite TV (Astra). Studio room has full A/C. Private outside Gazebos with table and chairs, with unobstructed view to the sea. Private sunbathing terrace with your own sunbeds, BBQ directly on the beach. It would be hard to be closer to the sea or in a more relaxing spot with the soft sound of the waves around you. And it would be hard to find such a safe location far away from the big cities but still in short walking distance (ca. 650 ft, ca. 200m) of a friendly little fishing village with many original tavernas and cafes. A bus stop close.
A unique location directly on a beach with few steps down to the sea. Environment friendly by own photovoltaic electricity production with several hours power cut autonomy and solar warm water generation.
Breakfast from 9 A.M. to open end possible in Isla Restaurant only 70 meters from the cottage.

Guest access
Enjoy your own private studio with beautiful sea views and a secluded outdoor area, separated from the other two cottages by tall natural stone walls. The space includes an outside dining area, a pergola for shade, and a private sunbathing platform with stunning sea views. A large brick barbecue is conveniently located just around the corner.

Other things to note
The cottages are located ca 100 meters from Plaka village, just a short walk along or behind Plaka Beach. Plaka has many taverns and cafés as well as a beach bar. On very rare occasions (2-3 times during the whole summer season) there is life music in one of the restaurants or beach bar that can be heard over the bay also in the cottages. It usually stops at 23.00
A Climate Made for Perfect Holidays
What sets Crete apart climatically is its steady, ever-present breeze. Thanks to this natural cooling effect, temperatures here never reach the oppressive, sticky extremes you might experience on islands like the Balearics — making for consistently pleasant, comfortable days no matter when you visit.
From May through October, average day and night temperatures hover in a wonderfully livable range: a mild ~20°C in May, climbing to a warm ~24°C in June, peaking at a sunny 27-28°C during the height of summer in July, easing slightly to around 26-27°C in August, and gently cooling back down through September (~24°C) and October (~20°C).
The wind is the true secret to Crete's comfortable climate. Starting at a gentle ~25 km/h in May, it builds to a refreshing 34-38 km/h during the peak summer months of July and August. This constant sea breeze keeps the heat in check.
Whether you're here for a relaxed spring getaway or a lively summer escape, Crete offers warm sunshine tempered by nature's own air conditioning — perfect for beach days, outdoor exploring, and everything in between.
