AVDOU COLLECTION, Crete
This property is the finest collection of villas and suits in a breath-taking landscape in the midst of the Lagada valley, right at the foot of the Lassithi plateau, in close proximity to the Aposelemi lake, and 35 km from the city of Heraclion. The area has a rich past, with excavations having unearthed mosaics, thought to be part of an early Christian basilica, numerous Byzantine churches, along with caves of Faneromeni and Agia Fotini, which were probably used as prehistoric worship grounds, where archeologists have brought to light artifacts dating back to the Neolithic period.
The Mediterranean gardens provide the perfect scenery for the villas scattered around the central building and the pool area, while most of the units come with their very own pools, for ultimate indulgence and privacy. The people at Avdou are there to fulfil any wish in a discrete, while at the same time, uncompromising way.
Avdou is ideal to experience the rural life of Crete, away from the crowded resorts, where the Cretan hospitality makes one feel at home.
