About this property

fissi villas agritourism near the sea

Located in Aghios Nicolaos, Crete, Fissi Villas is one of the few holiday accommodations in the region, operating under a special agritourism licence which shows our investment in a green and sustainable living. Proud to have been awarded with the Green Key eco-label, Fissi Villas complies with a set of high-standard environmental requirements.
Immersed in the natural Cretan surroundings, our Villas combine the stunning uninterrupted sea views to the Mirabello Bay and the unspoiled mountain landscapes with a twist, only 4.5 km away from the city centre of the picturesque Aghios Nicolaos.
Within striking distance (5-10’) from Fissi Villas and with easy access for the public, few of the most famous beaches of the area can be explored.
Standing on a spacious property of 4000m2, our two independent Villas will become the ideal home away from home for the adventurous families. Being equipped with a playground and many outdoor play sets, we intend to keep your young family members safely entertained, while offering everyone a stress-free holiday. We do care for the safety of your belongings too and we provide you with free and secure parking space throughout your stay. Fissi Villas promises to offer full insight to our hiking/trekking enthusiasts and to those guests keen in exploring the Cretan mountain routes, or the birdwatchers and the lovers of the endemic species of flora and fauna and of course to our sea lovers.
The field lying in front of Fissi Villas is covered by organic olive groves and by colourful fruit, vegetable and herb organic gardens.
For several years now we cultivate our olive groves with alternative, organic farming methods and we successfully produce excellent and high-quality organic extra-virgin olive oil which has been awarded by the University of Athens for its high antioxidant content (polyphenols) and its overall health protective properties.
In our unique Mediterranean flower garden, several hundreds of various seasonal flower species are growing, leaving our guests with an intense feeling of pleasure and euphoria.
Being faithful to a sustainable holiday experience, we have introduced in the premises a composter for domestic use to turn our organic waste into natural soil fertilizer for our gardens. This is why we encourage our guests during their stay to sort out their waste and join this collective effort towards a more sustainable living.
An amazing opportunity to explore the seasonal agricultural activities that take place in Fissi Villas during the seasons, opens up. You will collaborate in various activities, like the harvest of olives, fruits, vegetables and herbs. To help you capture the essence of Cretan traditions and cuisine, we offer you a free organic extra virgin olive oil bottle at your arrival, to show you what it means to cook like a local.

We suggest experienced mountain guides , teams organized for hiking, climping and exploring the surrounding areas. We can provide you with a special map of our area with all the routes, and we can also inform you about anything else you need. For our visitors that are lovers of hiking , there are many interesting and passable paths, signed with red or yellow signs. Except from walking through the European Path E4 in mountain range Dikti , there are trekking routes of gradual difficulty – varying from very easy to very demanding ones – which you can enjoy. Yannis is Marathon runner- trekking fanatic and he has climbed all the Cretan mountains and other such Olympus.

A beautiful holiday
Staying at Fissi Villas for 11 nights made for a very special family trip. The hosts Yanna and Yannis are wonderfully warm and thoughtful hosts who made us feel completely welcomed in Crete. Yanna helped us with all our arrangements regarding our late night arrival, and was there to meet us after our long journey, and had generously provided us with food ready for the morning, as well as a liberal supply of their delicious organic olive oil. The house is immaculately clean and extremely well provided with equipment and thoughtful touches. But it is the wonderful terrace with its sea view, where we spent our favourite time at the house, reading, eating, and the children playing in the play area. The nearby beaches are wonderful for swimming and our oldest son did lots of walking in the hills nearby. Yanna gave us great recommendations for visiting monasteries and villages where we could get meals in tavernas. When there was a difficulty with a blown fuse Yanna and Yannis sprang into action to get it fixed and could not have been more helpful as hosts. The gardens of the 2 villas are full of trees and plants, so the setting is really beautiful. There is some light traffic noise from the road, but the house is set back from the road, protected by trees and raised up the hillside, so the view is of the sea, and the road sounds are mostly drowned out by the sounds of cicadas! Good air conditioning in bedrooms. Thank you Yanna and Yannis for an idyllic time in friendly Crete!
Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2023

Villa Prinos - our home away from home
For one week Villa Prinos has been our home away from home. When planning our holiday on Crete (the 7th time w/in the last 20 years) we decided this time not to book a hotel or resort but a holiday home and our decision for Villa Prinos was definitely the right one! Everything was like in the description and in the pictures, in "reality" even nicer: the house and the surroundings - garden, terraces, lawn, bushes, trees and flowers - are beautiful, well tended, nicely and tasteful decorated and everything is kept clean and well maintained. In the kitchen you'll find whatever you need, even dishwasher, washing machine and also an iron and ironing board. In the bedrooms there are spacious wardrobes, good mattresses and air-condition. Living room is equipped with flatscreen TV, CD- and DVD player - nothing of that we used, because it was much nicer to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine! On arrival we found bottled water and orange juice in the fridge as well as a bottle of organic olive oil from their own olive grove and home made biscuits. What a great welcome service! Yanna and her husband Yannis came every day to water the plants and check whether we are ok, provided us with information for hiking trips, restaurants, gorgeous beaches a.s.o. - and freshly baked bread!. Every other day Yanna cleaned the rooms, disposed of the waste bins and changed towels and linen. Always they took some time for a little chat, which we appreciated very much! Yanna and Yannis made our stay very special. We felt that we where not only paying customers but good acquaintances. We surely will come back and of course we will recommend Villa Prinos to our relatives and friends. Thanks,Yanna and Yannis, for a great week!

wonderfull vacations
Me and my family have visited Crete for 2 weeks on May, As we were 8 person we booked both villas in the property. 2 detached houses each with spectacular view to the sea and amazing garden with a big collection of beauctiful flowers. On the arrival Yanna gave us all the information about the house, usefull tips for excursions and places worth to visit. She had offer us coffe, tea, cakes and we found fresh water and juice in the fridge, for the next morning as we arrived late and we did'nt have time for shoping. The house was extremly clean, very well equiped with all the modern and necessary appliances, making our stay very confortable. Yanna & Yannis were at the property twice a day in case we had any problem, ready to help for every issue. Twice a week Yanna cleans the house and change the bed linen and towels. Our kids were very happy to play in the big yards with a lot of toys for all ages such a play ground, cars, bikes, place to play with sand.There is a basketball court were older kids can use. Pretty little stone chapel all located on the ground behind the da house. For the adults, was really nice coming tired in the evenings having a nice meal like meat or fish done in the BBQ.We were seating outside untill late talking and planing our next day trip. Having Fissi Villas our base we have visited all the beauctiful beaches of the area, archeological sites towns and villages, and beauctiful landscapes. We could not ask more for our holidays! I know for sure, we are going to visit Fissi Villas again and again

Superb. Wonderful hosts, location & Villa.
Yanna & Yannis are the best hosts you'll ever come across. We were met upon arrival and given a wonderful greeting and introduction to both the villa and their area of Crete. (Far more detailed than the usual 5-10minute arrival brief). Yanna is a true hospitality professional & this shows from the way the villa is set up and in every interaction with her and Yannis. They are lovely, warm, genuine and will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. Including: - Coming & thoroughly cleaning our villa mid stay (we stayed for a week) - Dropping by often to check we were happy & whether we needed anything or advice - Dropping off yummy treats (their fresh fruit, home made Apple pie etc) - Being extremely warm & welcoming of the children. They had put aside many toys selected for the age of our kids You could not wish for more as hosts. Fissi villas are equally wonderful: - Clean, comfortable & decorated with great local flair - Beautiful, relaxed outlook over the ocean - Set back from & above the nearest major road, so quiet & peaceful - GREAT for kids, with play equipment, many toys, basketball area etc. Our young children needed to be supervised if playing on the grassed area due to a small drop off to the fruit trees growing below - but it is fully fenced & is so pretty out there, there is no where I'd rather have been than outside the villa anyway! - Plenty of room for parking - Free wifi (really good connection) - Kitchen & supplies are great for self catering (ask Yanna about local markets) - 5 mins drive to lovely beaches (we love Voulisma!) & tavernas & close to Agios Nikolaus if you want even more choice for eating - Only 1 hr from Heraklion airport but situated in a lovely quiet part of Crete perfect for exploring the Nth/East corner. A wonderful experience made all the better by such superb hosts!

Sunshine and a warm welcome at the Fissi villas
We spent the first 2 weeks in October at Villa Krini and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Yanna and Yannis were really lovely hosts. When we arrived hungry and tired at 10 pm, they gave us a warm welcome and a good tip for a restaurant where we had a wonderful first dinner out. During our stay Yanna often came by with delicious samples of her homecooking and Yannis presented us with bottles of organic olive oil harvested from his own olive trees. The villa is very pretty. We particulary liked the outside seating area with a view over the Mirabello bay. It is well-equipped and very clean (Yanna cleans twice a week). It is also well positioned for exploring many places in Eastern Crete. Agios Nikolaos, which is teeming with good restaurants and bars, is only a few minutes drive away. Likewise the sandy Almyra beach. Spinalonga and the Lassithi plateau are all within easy reach. We also enjoyed the pleasant drive through the mountains to Ierapetra on the south coast. From there we took the boat trip to the beautiful Chryssi Island with its white sand and turquoise water, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. I am looking forward to coming back to Fissi Villas again some day!
