Welcome to the Zakros Villas website

We are a small touroperator based in Holland. We are able to offer you self-catering villas on Crete, the most southern island of Greece. By staying small we can offer not only the best, but the most personal, service to our clients. We offer a range of accommodation and we are skilled in tailor-made holidays.

Mochlos high street...

Although this website as well as our brochure is written in the Dutch language it doesn’t mean that our accommodation is not available for others than Dutch people only. We have clients from different European countries. The only thing you have to do is book your own flight and from the time of your arrival on the island it will be our pleasure to make your holiday special.

Geographically, we cover the four corners of Crete; we can offer accommodation in Hersonisos and Mochlos on the northeastcoast; in Western Crete in Stalos, Topolia and on the peninsula Akrotiri near Chania; at the southcoast in the village Aghia Galini, Ierapetra and Koutsounari.

We extended our programme with the small green island of Zakynthos. This island is part of the Ionian Islands and is famous for its Caretta-Caretta seaturtles. We are able to offer accommodation in Limni Keri in the south, in Porto Roma at the peninsula Vassilikos and in the village Ammoudi in the east of the island.

We believe we have a good knowledge of the islands and we visit all the accommodation several times a year and so we are able to inform you very well about the local circumstances.Below you will find in short our procedures and a short description in English of some of our houses and apartments on Crete.

If you are interested in booking one of our accommodations or if you would like to receive our
brochure, please feel free to contact us either by phone, fax or e-mail. We can quote you the
price in euro's immediately. We are able to offer reductions for children under the age of 12. Once you have decided to book we send you the confirmation by mail. We will then ask you to pay a deposit of 15 % transferred to our bankaccount in Holland. The balance is payable 8 weeks prior to your departure.

Please contact us if you would like to book or find out more information.
