Why they chose this property

Just a short walk from Villa Ilisio, the village Klima offers a glimpse into Crete's rich past. While small in size, its location a minute's drive from Timbaki places it at the crossroads of history. The nearby Palace of Phaistos, a remarkable Minoan site, underscores the historical significance of the region.

Klima retains a timeless charm, preserving traditions that connect modern life to ancient Crete. The village is located close to popular tourist destinations and beaches such as Matala, Kommos, Kalamaki and Agia Galini. It is home to a warm and welcoming community that embodies traditional Cretan hospitality. Many locals work in agriculture, cultivating olives and vegetables in the fertile plains that stretch towards Timbaki. Their connection to the land ensures fresh, local produce that can be enjoyed in nearby tavernas, creating a truly authentic experience for visitors to the area.

Villa Ilisio's central position in South Crete makes it an ideal base for your exploration of the region. Surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills, you are close to key attractions like pristine beaches, ancient ruins, and charming villages. Timbaki itself offers a plethora of options, from gyms, large supermarkets and local taverns to bustling weekend markets.

Whether you’re seeking culture, relaxation, or outdoor activities, Klima offers something truly special, just moments from your tranquil retreat at Villa Ilisio. Guests at Villa Ilisio will find Klima to be a peaceful and enriching addition to their South Crete experience.
