Achilles & Terpsichori, Kalamaki, Crete

Set back above the coast road on a small private hill with lawned gardens to the rear, these two individual properties share their own 14 metre fan shaped swimming pool and enjoy an enviable position and superb seaviews. With the sandy beach of Kalamaki no more than 300 metres away and a number of nearby tavernas and small supermarkets, the situation couldn't be more convenient and car hire, although useful, is certainly not essential.

We have featured these properties in our programme almost since the conception of Freelance Holidays in 1984 and over the years they have become firm favourites of many of our customers. They are owned by Achilles and Manolis, two brothers from a wealthy and distinguished Chania family. Pavlos, Achilles son, who was not much more than a boy when we first met is now a medical practitioner in Chania and is following the family tradition of looking after our guests, while his father and Uncle look forward to a happy and well earned retirement for which we would like to wish them well! N.B. Some traffic noise is audible from the coast road.
