About Christina Villas: Christina Villas was a project completed in 2003. Thanassis Paspalakis, founder and Director of Zakros Tours did see the obvious, that Pendamodi, the village where he was born could be, due to beauty and location, an ideal place for alternative and high quality tourism. He created a complex of 11 superb villas, featuring one of Crete's best properties.
As a specialist in tourism Thanassis, did understand what his guests would want from their distinctive vacations.
Our long experience in “philoxenia” [hospitality in ancient and modern Greek] is always there for our guests. Our will is to treat our guests mostly as family friends coming on vacation, rather than a client as meant by hospitality sciences.
Christina complex, was named after the mother of Thanassis, an adorable woman, married to Manolis Paspalakis, owner of the Kafeneion founded in 1930 and renovated by his grand-grand son Giorgos in 2005.
Coast/beach and eating outdoors: 15 km from the famous Ammoudara Beach (15 minutes drive). Ammoudara Beach is 6 kms long and is famous among locals and foreigners for its thin golden sand. It has parts with a lot of people, while others with few, also it has restaurants, cafes, water sports, beach bars.
Another choice near, recommended from our guests is Lygaria , a more quiet and family beach, located at a gulf, suitable for windy days. Amnissos, Karteros and Paliokastro beaches are also within short drive distances.
There are two traditional 'kafenions' in Pendamodi one of which also serves traditional 'mezes', Giorgos' 'Mezedopoleion', a mix of Cretan cafe and taverna, highly recommended by our guests for his hospitality and dishes. Additionally, a selection of brilliant local taverns can be found within a few kilometers in the surrounding villages and the Christina complex modern snack café is always an alternative and on site
Special interest holidays / Service: Courses on Greek History and Literature can take place on special demand by the candidate doctor of Philology, Adonis Paspalakis.
On this vacation you are not going to be alone: For the best service we will support your holiday during your stay, guaranteeing that you will get the most of your vacation: An information book with local sightseeing, tavernas, beaches and general information will be provided.

Summary: Great large living space downstairs which was useful in the heatwave. The village tavernas were a real bonus and we enjoyed exploring the areas around. Good contact just before our arrival and very clean property.

Summary: We used this villa to explore central and southern Crete for a week. It proved and ideal location to do this. We drove as far west as Rethimno and as far east as Agios Nikolaos and south to Matala. The level of customer service we received from Adonis and Giirgios both before we arrived and during our stay was superb. As we hired the villa we got a discount on a hire car (Zakros Tours) which turned out to be the most hassle free car hiring we have ever had. They do offer to show you the route to the villa on arrival at the airport. We would recommend you take them up on the offer. Any problems were sorted out promptly even when it was very late at night.

Summary: This year in April, we where planning to visit Pendamodi for the third time. Unfortunately, Covid19 and travel restrictions made it impossible. But again, Adonis was friendly as always and supported us in every way to solve the situation. So we now hope that travel restrictions drop within this year or next and will immediately take the next chance to visit Crete! Rene

Summary: We spent a wonderful week in this lovely villa which was very well equipped, clean and comfortable - the private pool and garden was a lovely addition. George kindly met us at the airport to show us to our hire car (hired through Zakros tours at a very competitive rate) and then to Pendamodi. The team did all they could to ensure we had a wonderful holiday and with the great local taverna and food and the local shop we couldn't have wanted more. In the words of Arnie - "We'll be back!" x

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in this well equipped lovely little villa. There was everything that we needed including a bbq. The maid service was exceptional with clean linen more often then we have had in other stays. We enjoyed staying in a village setting as we have often been in the middle of nowhere, and found plenty of necessities in the local shop and ate 5 times in the taverna!

Summary: Location, Location,Location. Pendamodi is a perfect setting to explore Crete. We found some fantastic local restaurants within a short drive and everything we needed was available in the Village....even a local hostelry that served excellent local food. Unusually for rural Villas this one is serviced regularly and we found George and Elizabeth a fantastic resource who ensured our stay was everything we hoped it would be. A personal thanks to you both for your attentiveness. I have no hesitation in recommending this Villa for a relaxing break in the heart of a beautiful island. From initial enquiry right through to arrival at the airport and support in finding the Villa I found the service from Zakros Tours and the team first class. Thanks again.

Summary: We loved the peaceful, rural setting and the stunning scenery in the area. The villa was all we could wish for and Adonis and his team were both professional and very kind. We enjoyed the warm and friendly welcome and numerous tasty meals at Georgos' kafenion just two minutes' walk away. Adonis also provided our hire car: the service was excellent and when a small fault occurred the car was replaced very promptly. A wonderful holiday in Pentamodi... We'll be back for sure!

Summary: We have visited the beautiful Island of Crete many times but usually stayed in a coastal resort. When we saw Christina Villa we decided to give it a try. The villa is fantastic, very private and the villages were marvelous. The people were very friendly, and the food at the taverna was really scrumptious. We would definately go back and recommend it for a truely relaxing holiday. Manolis is the owner and couldn't do enough for us, he is a truely lovely , genuine person.

Summary: My family and I visited Christina Villa's last August and enjoyed a great, relaxing holiday in the traditional village of Pendamodi. The villa was to a high standard with good facilities, plenty of space and privacy. The property had a lovely garden incorporating a swimming pool, BBQ area and good sitting areas to accomodate those who enjoy the sun or those who prefer a shaded area. Pool and Villa cleaning was carried out on a regular basis by friendly, and helpful staff to a good standard. On arrival we received a warm welcome from Adonis and his family and they remained helpful and available throughout our stay. We enjoyed good local cuisine in Pendmodi as well as great restaurants in the surrounding villages, all to a high standard at affordable prices. For those who are looking for a quiet realxing break in a traditional village not too far from the capital Iraklion( Heraklion) and the major attractions we would highly recommend Christina Villa's.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay in this luxurious villa back in Sept. The facilities were great and the owners were brilliant. The villa is owned by a local family who take real pride in their work and hospitality - they went to great trouble to ensure we had a good stay - advising us on local beaches, site seeing, restaurants etc. We even got a competitive car hire deal through Zakros Tours. We really enjoyed chatting to both Georgious (?) & Adonis about life in Crete, which gave us further insight into the culture. The local taverna (also owned by the same family) cooked up some delish dishes. This (coming from a fussy eater) is not to be snuffed at!! I really couldn't fault the team or the villa - If you're going to Crete, this is the place to stay.
