With great sensitivity and respect we renovated our great grandparents ‘house, built in 1860, in the traditional village of Aptera-Megala Chorafia, in distance just 13km away from the city of Chania. The position of the village, over the National Road, makes Aptera ideal as a base for a lot of destinations. The house preserved its traditional colour, with the predominant elements of stone and woo
d, but in the same time it is equipped with all modern comforts. The bigger one-Villa Niki 1 provides a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, living room, bathroom, energy fireplace, air-conditioning, washing machine and dishwasher. It has the capacity of hosting up to 5 people (1 double bed, sofa-bed, sofa).

Villa Niki is situated 1km away from the main square of the village, in which you will find restaurants with traditional Cretan food, cafés and a mini market. The archaeological site of ancient Aptera is situated 2km away.
