Marmelada Villa is surrounded by beautiful olive trees in a garden with fruits, herbs and colorful bougainvillea Villa Marmelada is among olive groves, just minutes from beautiful and clean beaches. In the town of Ierapetra, the southernmost city in Europe, there is a large number of restaurants, cafes, clubs and shops. One can feast on Cretan food that is known to be good for health. You could start the day with a good coffee on the large sun deck or under an olive tree in the garden, after sleeping comfortably on Dunlopillo mattress (German quality brand). In the garden you can harvest fruit and spices of the season to prepare meals in the modern kitchen that is very well equipped. On the other hand you can order to eat in or have a barbecue in the garden (on days with no wind). In the evening you can switch off all lights in the house and watch the stars even from the inside from the sofa next to the panorama window inside the lounge. In winter temperatures are mild in general, which provides opportunities for hikers to hike in the Cretan mountains and enjoy amazing views of the sea. Returning you could have a drink by the fire in the fireplace in a good atmosphere. Directions: Coming from Ierapetra we turn at the traffic light in direction MAKRILIA, following this road for 1400 meters one sees the house on the left.
