We’ve arranged welcome packs to be in the villa to tide you over your first morning whilst you find your bearings. These are shown below as the essentials packs. New: If you would also like to try some of the local Cretan produce we can provide a "Taste of Crete" pack to give you a head start on some of the wonderful, fresh food and local drinks.
