Location. Set in the Lagada valley, on an organic farm, Avdou Villas features shuttered windows and terracotta tiles, and a garden measuring 20,000 square metres. The villas are 29 kilometres from the port of Heraklion and 30 kilometres from Heraklion Airport (HER).
Hotel Features. Guests can participate in organic farming and Cretan cooking classes, or simply relax on the terraces beside the outdoor pool. The farming estate has olive and citrus trees, and a vegetable garden. Further amenities include a picnic area, complimentary parking, and dry cleaning services.

Restaurant Avdou serves traditional Cretan dishes in a simple setting. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served to guests each morning.

Guests can explore the Lagada hills on horseback, or practise their swing at Crete Golf Club's 18-hole course, which is nine kilometres away from the hotel.

Guestrooms. The eight air-conditioned villas have modern decor in light colours, simple furnishings and tiled floors. All rooms extend to balconies and include kitchenettes equipped with coffee/tea-makers and refrigerators, telephones, televisions, and hair dryers.

Expert Tip. The Lasithi Plateau, which can be found 15 kilometres from the hotel, is well known for its thousands of white-sailed windmills. The Palace of Knossos, a spectacular Minoan settlement dating back to 1700 BC, is 40 kilometres away.
