VIlla Margaret - "Our" Villa on Crete.....in Xirosterni

Well its not really ours but it feels like home from home ! This is the third year we have visited the villa.

Our local larger village is Vamos and there are other villages within 15 minutes drive.

We have a swimming pool at the villa but a 12 minute drive and you are swimming in a warm, clear, sea off the rocks at Octopus Bay! Sandy beaches 20 minutes away but thats not our thing !

The thing about Crete.....apparently "broken" it may appear but unlike my town in England which is full of antique shops and not even a bank, villages the size of Vamos (population 600+) is self contained with several bakeries, grocery stores, "cafes", galleries, tourist office, etc etc. It even has a bank !!!

Guess what.....we'll be back !!
