The spacious garden offers magnificent views of the Agia Pelagia bay and the surrounding mountains. Guests are also welcome to use our outdoor BBQ facility to prepare delicious meals at the comfort of their own garden, using fresh ingredients that can be purchased from the village market.Kindly note that as the pool is private, the property features no lifeguard.Guests are responsible of their own safety, and particularly of the safety of children that may accompany them.Agia Pelagia has magnificent beaches, ideal for swimming throughout the summer. The bay provides a physical protection from the winds that swipe most of the northern coast of Crete, making swimming a joy throughout the summer! The village of Agia Pelagia offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday, including super markets, restaurants, cafes, bars, and a promenade ideal for night strolls under the moonlight. The village is conveniently located between Heraklion and Rethymnon, both worth visiting: The former for its unique minoan antiquities and museum, the latter for its picturesque old town - an absolute "must see" before you leave the island. 1210282
