Location
Villa Aeterna is located above Sidonia, one of Southern Crete’s most authentic and unspoiled coastal regions. Far removed from the island’s busier tourist centres, the area offers a rare combination of privacy, authenticity and natural beauty.
The nearby beach of Sidonia is known for its crystal-clear waters, dark sand and relaxed atmosphere. The picturesque seaside settlement of Tertsa offers traditional tavernas and a laid-back local character, while Myrtos, located approximately 20.5 km away, provides additional dining options, water sports, diving experiences and organised boat excursions. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Kalami Gorge, Sarakina Gorge and the renowned Selakano Forest, offering hiking, canyoning and exploration opportunities throughout the year.
