Photos of the villa and surrounding area showing the beautiful and varied scenery in this lovely part of Crete.  Villa Ariadne is very conveniently located both as a quiet holiday retreat in the countryside or as a base for exploring the fantastic and varied landscape.  It is within very easy reach of several lovely beaches and quiet resorts, and also the wonderful mountains, lakes and southern coastal areas.
