About this place

Discover the Wonders of Crete from Fyllosia Villa, Your Serene Home Away from Home near Knossos

Wake up to the sounds of nature in the comfort of our stone villa at the top of the hill “Fourni” in Archanes. Villa Fyllosia (pronounced fee-Loh-sya) was built and decorated with the Cretan tradition and landscape in mind. Located just 14 km south of the capital city of Heraklion, our villa is nestled in a private olive grove and a small pine forest. You will enjoy unobstructed views of Heraklion and the island of Dia in the north, Psiloritis mountain in the west, and the Dikti mountain range in the east. Whether you are looking for a relaxing and quiet retreat or a home base while you explore the many attractions Crete has to offer, Villa Fyllosia has everything you need.

Enjoy a stroll to the Fourni forest located within walking distance, or choose one of the many country roads to explore the nearby picturesque villages around Mount Giouchta. The town of Archanes is only 2.8 km away, and there you can find multiple restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and a pharmacy in addition to historic churches. There are also multiple museums and archeological sites right in Archanes.
