Omalos village

4.7(82 reviews)

About

On Crete, Omalos village sits at Platanias 730 05, Greece. The chalet-style property is known for its mountain setting and has drawn a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 82 reviews.

Guests booking here should expect a quiet base away from the coast, with the option to explore further afield. Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi are all reachable by road from the Platanias area. Details of the accommodation are set out at http://www.omalosvillage.gr/.

Island bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines, which gives visitors something to seek out on day trips. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so road travel is often the more reliable option.

Reaching the venue from the main resorts is manageable by car, though the drive into the hills takes time. The high review score suggests past guests have found the setting worth the journey.
