Famed by dramatic mountains and lush green hills on Crete's west coast, this beautiful charming village is a perfect peaceful hideaway. Perched over an undulating headland, it's the perfect base to combine tranquility with regular trips into nearby Chania.

Sitting near the captivating old town of Chania, this photogenic village of unspoilt natural beauty is totally picturesque. Amidst rolling hills and pine trees, Pemonia is all about village-life - a wonderful haven for hiding away from the world. Perfectly placed for hiking and walking forays, you can really uncover the real Crete, stopping off at little villages along the way.

Exploring Crete's fabulous antiquities and interior is also easy from here.
