Maria

4.8(8 reviews)

About

Found on Crete, Maria occupies Cretan Blue Villas Villa2, Analipsi 720 55, on the island's northern coast. The main towns, including Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia, are linked by road, so Analipsi is reachable by car from the resorts along that stretch. Analipsi sits east of Heraklion on the coastal route, which positions it well for anyone travelling between the capital and the eastern towns.

The kitchen is a restaurant, and a website at http://www.villamariacrete.com/ accompanies the listing. What it is known for rests on a small but strong set of feedback: 4.8 out of 5 from 8 reviews, a figure that reflects a handful of satisfied diners rather than a large crowd. Matala and Elafonisi lie elsewhere on the same island for those extending a trip.

Daily life slows in the afternoon, and tavernas serve late into the evening, which shapes when a meal is likely to be busiest.

Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches, so coastal wildlife is part of the backdrop. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, and the season runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches.
