Tucked away in the rugged and lesser-known Southern Crete, Villa Eulimene offers a true haven, a place of beauty and profound stillness. Surrounded by uninterrupted views of the Libyan Sea, overlooking Aniforas Bay, you can hear the waves lapping below, and as Yeats wrote, peace will indeed “come dropping slow”. This Villa has a unique rhythm, its own wavelength. You can spend hours on the spacious terraces watching the soft grey mist at dawn, the vivid orange and pink sunset, or the brilliance of the star filled night. This is a place to create, to write your book, complete your thesis, or simply put the world on hold.

Relax. Reflect. Recharge.
