Home - Heraklion Villas Kokkini Hani



This is a new luxury one isn’t afraid to touch, one you can live in, and one with extraordinary character that allows you to remain in sync with the landscape of Greece while enjoying world class accommodation. The attraction to the sea and vibrant culture of Crete has naturally created a feel that blends the magic of the Mediterranean with an alternatively traditional, yet human luxury.

Minimally interfering with the natural habitat and harmonically blended with their surroundings, the structures emerge from the ground, respecting its natural contours and creating a settlement on a hillside, stone pathways, and olive groves. Each villa finds its roots in architecture from Greece and create a new architecture of organically shaped living spaces at a human scale.

Mild earth tones are found throughout, embellished with works of art. Breathtaking views of the sea and the region of Kokkini Hani and Gouves are part of this new design inviting the senses to feast on sights, scents and tastes from the rich outdoors through large windows, and spacious verandas.

Location - Heraklion Villas



Kokkini Hani was originally a small fishing village which became a popular weekend spot for the residents of nearby Heraklion, thanks to the area’s good sand and shingle beaches and clean waters. Kokkini Hani is a good base to explore the region, being quite close to most places in central Crete. Kokkini Hani is pretty laid-back especially compared to Hersonisos and Malia. And when you want more action you can hop in a car (or a taxi) and drive to Hersonissos which is only 10 km away.

Getting there: Located 15 km east of Heraklion. Buses run between Kokkini Hani and Heraklion at least every half hour throughout the day.

Accommodation: there aren't too many large hotels (and those are in the hands of the package tour companies) but plenty of holiday apartments and studios.

Restaurants: there are around 30 restaurants and 15 bars

Shopping and services: a few supermarkets and plenty of other shops to cover your needs. Several car rental agencies.

Beach Large sandy beach at Vathianos Kampos with a big hotel (Arina Sand). The beach further east consists of short stretches of sand interrupted by rocks. The area is known for its north-west wind, which make the place often very good for wind-surfing.

In the area: A Minoan villa is located nearby at Niros. There is also a waterpark (called Watercity) near the village of Anopolis, a few km inland
